Style Watch: How to Make Matchy-Matchy Look Pretty-Pretty

Many people think perfectly coordinated outfits are old-fashioned and stuffy. But with the right color combos and accessories, spring's matchy-matchy trend can look fresh and modern. The key is to coordinate only two items in your outfit so that you don't overdo it.
