Fashion Friday - Color Blocking

If you've been to the mall or browsed thru any fashion magazine you've probably noticed a trend called

Colorblocking.

Graphic, bold, vibrant colors being worn in "sections" on your body in the form of wardrobe pieces make up this trend. By wearing one piece (say, your skirt) in one color (say, red) and then choosing a top that's purple. That's colorblocking.

It might be wearing a beige skirt with a black sweater and a red blazer. Get the picture?
It throws "column dressing" a little off kilter so remember that in case you're a little bit fluffy.

In the case of the not-so-perfect body (okay, so for most of us!) then try colorblocking in shoes,boots or a purse like these:

So there you have it! It's a terrific way to have that high fashion look, and wearing even just one of these items will make any outfit look Fall 2011 updated!

Happy Fashion Friday Ya'll!!
