{modern} matchy matchy

For a long time, being too "matchy" {when it comes to clothes/accessories/beauty} has been seen as dated, conforming to antiquated style rules {no, your shoes/belt/purse do not have to match}, and one of my personal fashion pet peeves. However, with color sweeping the fashion world, pairing like-tones together is inevitable and anything but antiquated. Here are a few of my tips to keep your matching fresh and modern this spring.
