Color Blocking 2013

I know that this was a bit of a summer trend, but it really brightens up your day! This was a major trend, and I think we should keep it alive. Color blocking just lets us wear pieces that POP, and still being stylish. I'm not going to go in depth about each piece, but I will provide some tips, and a general idea of what it is. Technically, your taking art class.

The truth is, color is everywhere. I still remember a poem I wrote about it in 2nd Grade. Anyways, when you think of someone who is well dressed, or you may feel envious of, they usually stand out to you. Colorblocking is a chic and trendy look that is perfect for any event. With color blocking, I prefer bright colors, almost neon. If you like neutrals, you can even color block with that! It amps up the look, to give it a more modern vibe. One color that I really adore is a bright almost neon orange, and it looks really good with gold.

As shown in some pieces above, anyone can pull off the color pink. Just like Orange, pink goes with gold perfectly, and I consider them "bestfriends" . Gold really ties everything up, and so do other metallic colors.

Speaking of other colors, I think black really goes great with dark blues, or in this case, "cold colors".
Cold colors are rather darker, and they are towards the end of the rainbow. One suggestion is that cold colors and warm colors don't look good when colorblocked if they are mixed together. For instance, do we really like orange and blue together? I know some may like it, but orange and red look fairly more balanced and they don't clash as much. However, special colors are black and gold, since they go great with every color. I recommend color blocking with at least two colors, and they should be solid. When you often have three colors, sometimes, one of them can help the others get along, such as yellow, pink, and blue, or dark blue, light blue, and yellow.

     I know I sounded a bit crazy during this post, but this is my perspective of color blocking!
Hope you enjoyed this post!
