As promised, the hideous:
Seriously, people, flags are not inspiration for fashionable- or even viewable- color combos. This is just disgusting. Red and green are great on grandma's Christmas sweater, and that's IT. You may be able to work deep red and olive together, but anything this bright just advertises that you are indeed color blind.
Schizophrenia is not funny. So why dress like you have it? This is simply too much at once, without anything neutral or common tying the colors together.
Juvenile. This might work on your 14 year old kid sister, but otherwise, give it up. If you have eyes, you can see that this little number includes purple, red, pink, yellow, and black. At the very least lose the pink and red and try working the purple and yellow for a slightly less crazy ensemble.
No, no, NO! What I said before about red and green is still true. Strawberries can be added to your list of things that should not inspire an outfit for you.
Here's the thing: red and blue can look amazing together. Or they can look like this. No matter how much this outfit cost, it looks cheap and tacky. One way to finesse an unusual combo like blue and red is to use one color as your base (here, blue), one contrasting accessory (red bag) and then STOP. Use neutral shoes and very simple jewelry.
First of all, who does this?! Secondly, this just epitomizes the idea of taking the color wheel too literally and not using common sense to judge a color's tone and mood. The loud dress already contains red and purple (obviously I will discuss the use of animal print in another post). Adding a red jacket in a completely different red shade and boots in yet another red shade is just adding insult to injury. The addition of a purple hat and what appear to be blue or purple earrings is god awful. The bag is simply unspeakable.
