how to add a pop of color without it looking obnoxious or too loud

Some women get stuck in a rut of using just neutrals and find it hard to ease their way into using brighter colors. There's an easy way, I promise! In this example i used blue, but you can replace the middle color with any color you want. Just sandwich it between a light beige and a brown. enjoy
