Endnotes:

This is the first outfit adhering to this week’s color challenge, a.k.a. Module 1 of the Fashion 101 on How to Combine Colors. Since Module 1 is all about expending our color horizons and creating color combinations usually alien to us — such as pairing complimentary colors — this is what I did. I paired my salmon pants with a bright blue top (orange-blue families).

I can see this module already working for me! Yay for Module 1! -S.
