Color on color

Good Monday evening, Stylenation!  How was your weekend?  Mine was pretty good, which I think made work today even more annoying than usual.  Mondays are so hard to get into sometimes.  It was cold and gloomy out when I woke up this morning, so I armed myself with bright colors to make it through the day.  This purple sweater actually has some pink thread in it (it's kind of heathered, but it's hard to see in the pictures), so my bright pink scarf seemed like an obvious choice to pair with it.  But thinking back, I think before I ever started reading blogs or even knew Stylenation existed, I never would have thought to bold colors together.  It sounds silly now, but I probably would've gone with a neutral, or at least a scarf with some purple in it.  But after pondering if I'm on Team Neutrals or Team Bright Colors, thanks to E-Jo's post, and seeing so much color all over the blogosphere, I decided to move a little closer to Team Bright Colors.

What do you think of pairing colors with each other?  And do you ever use something like brightly colored clothes to help brighten up a day?

Note how Jude pairs his bright green collar with his blue harness.  I should've been taking cues from him all along.  Also note his pink pig toy, in support of BBCA .
