In this case, I used shoes to do it. So I did a faux white wrap top, just-shy-of-navy jacket, and a black and white chevron sweater skirt. Nice enough combo stopping there, but I went with red d'orsay kitten heels to just shake it up a bit. And let's be honest, what self-respecting Kansas-born woman doesn't own a pair of red shoes? May as well just work with the jokes, baby.
But I didn't overdo the pop. No red necklace or anything, because I don't want to get too matchy-matchy (something that, because of my natural inclination to want to have everything in a set order and pattern, I have to really fight against, so I really do deserve extra points for this).
So, the bummer part is, none of these specific pieces appear to be available anymore (Simplybe.com top, Igigi, jacket, Eloquii sweater skirt, J Renee kitten heels, for what that's worth). Not they were the point of the post, but I like to include links when I can.
The real point is, don't be afraid to look for either complimentary or contrasting colors on the color wheel, and accessorize accordingly. Sometimes shaking up the pattern is more fun than sticking with it.
