One of the best things about Valentine’s Day is its color palette. There, I said it.
When I was younger and studied fashion magazines on the regular, I had certain ideas about what colors could and could not be paired together. Most notably, I avoided wearing blue with green, brown with black – and pink with red. These just seemed like incontrovertible fashion rules to me. As a personal style nerd attending an arts high school, honestly I could’ve worn way wackier stuff than I did and gotten away with it just fine, but I was still nervous to violate certain norms for whatever reason.
