Colour Pop!




I have been obsessed with colour blocking ever since this trend started hitting the runways a few years ago.... Colour blocking essentially is pairing 2 or 3 pieces in bold solid colours and putting them together to create an outfit. There are a few rules to stick by to make this look work... Use bright colours to keep the look modern and fresh, you can also use a basic colour wheel if you need some inspiration for colour choices. Keep some accessories like your jewelry, shoes and handbag in the neutrals so you don't overdo it. Remember you don't want to look like a fruit salad! Don't be afraid to play around with a few looks, some will be misses but you'll definitely find some hits. If you want to start off slow try a bright pink blazer with an all black outfit and red pumps or a cobalt blue dress with a punchy coral scarf, you can always work your way up to mixing neons! These are my 2 attempts at colour blocking this week... What do you think of this trend? Is it a do for you?
