Happy Friday everyone! I am sorry for the later post today but I had the day off 🙂 Thus the later post. I am very excited about this upcoming post. It is a fashion trend that I have LOVED from day one, and I have now finally stepped into its realm. Color blocking. To give you an idea of what I am talking about it, check it out:
I think a visual definition is better in fashion, but to clarify what color blocking is:
- It combines the use of two or more blocks of colour in an ensemble.
- Creating an outfit by putting areas or blocks of solid color next to each other.
- This can include shoes, scarves, bags, tops and bottoms.
You don’t need to go out and buy a whole new wardrobe to join this trend. As you can see above just piecing bold colors pieces together gives the same look as clothing that is constructed to have the color block look. You might want to go out and grab some hot colored pants though just because they are awesome. I know I have been looking!
So how have I joined the color blocking trend? Not with the colored pants (yet) but when I hit upon this sweet find at my J Crew Clearance store. For $15 I got this little number.
Shown here is my take on color blocking that I have right now. Since the colors were muted on the shirt, I wanted to inject more color into the outfit. So I threw on the purple shoes and teal earrings!
Also, I thought I would get some great color blocking pictures to share with you on Pinterest (love!) and when I searched for it, literally, the first picture that popped up with this one.
My shirt! From JCrew! Is that crazy or what? Now that I have started into this trend I definitely want to explore it more. I think what I like about it most is its unique use of color. I LOVE color and a trend that embraces it so much is just up my fashion alley! Here are a few more pictures to make you want to run out and go shopping!
Blue and green are my favorite colors of all time!
Go wild! Put it on your nails!
In a bag!
Hello shoes!
So there it is folks! All about color blocking! I am going on a shopping trip this weekend so look forward to those finds on next Friday’s post!
