Rule No. 1: Don't Shy Away From Vibrant Colors

A red pant makes any outfit pop. Wearing it with a printed jacket makes this look perfect for the office.

Rule No. 2: You Can Wear One Allover Color

When done right, mixing and matching prints can be effortlessly pulled together — especially when pairing items of the same color.

Rule No. 3: Colorblock With Neutrals

Colorblocking is a fun way to add pops of color to any outfit, and a long skirt is a must have this Fall. Going with a neutral heel doesn't battle with the color combo.

Rule No. 4: Allover Black Leather Is H-O-T

Being bold is also about knowing when to be just a little bad — like wearing all leather.

Rule No. 5: Remember to Pull It Together

The nude shoe and bag tone down the bold mixing and matching of this outfit. And adding a solid-colored jacket keeps it all together.

Rule No. 6: Yes, You Can Wear Fresh Prints This Fall

Jumpers are so in, and going with a fresh print — even one that may seem more suited for Spring or Summer — is an exciting way to be a bit adventurous with your wardrobe. Adding black shoes and a bag makes it work for Fall.

Rule No. 7: Don't Put Away the Crop Tops Just Yet

Full skirts and crop tops aren't finished for the season. A longer sleeve and brighter color really make a statement (and keep you warm at the same time).
