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!

four fantastic outfit ideas

Hi guys! So, I've come up with a great look, and a neater one. If you ever get stuck in the closet, wondering what to where, here is a solution.

Above, I have 4 outfits that really catch people's eyes. For the first one, I chose a studded top, since it gives it an edgy look. I paired them with blue tie dye skinny jeans, since tie dye really gives a unique look. If you ever feel that your jeans are too plain, I recommend these jeans. However, the most exciting part of this look are the shoes. These look really unique, and I think the color looks gorgeous. It has lots of chains and gold studs, so it ties the outfit together. The purse, really matches the outfit since I really like the shape. It's more of a hobo bag, but I really like it because of the gold chains. Now, to finish the outfit off, a nice polka dot scarf will do.

For the next outfit, I chose a nice peace sign shirt, and the cool thing is that it's lower in the front and longer in the back. For the jeans, I chose camouflage because I think the colors really compliment each other. I really like jeans with unique patterns on them and I encourage you to try it. For the shoes, I chose a vanilla boot. I really like lace up boots because they give it more attitude and style. I added a vanilla colored purse since it really matches the outfit. To finish the outfit off, I added a knit beanie. Knit beanies are really in this fall, since it adds a girly look to this outfit.

The next outfit really brings out the color black, since many people are afraid to wear it. For the top, I chose a beautiful black lace top, since I love lace. Another thing that I like is that the lace is on the neckline. If you already have lace there, you don't really have to wear any jewelry. For the pants, I chose black and white ones, since I didn't want it to be entirely black. Also, I don't see many jeans like these around, so they are pretty special. For the boots, I thought that grey would really compliment this look, and the shoes have studs on them. For the purse, I chose a cross body one, but it still looks good. I like that this purse has a golden touch to it, because gold brings out many colors. To tie the outfit together, add a black bow to your hair.

For the last outfit, I chose a blue lace peplum shirt, and the color really looks good. I really like the lace and you don't need to add jewelry. For the pants, it really reminds me of a bubble gum pink, since the color is really bright. For the shoes, I chose lace up black boots, with pink print on the bottom. It really looks like something you would see on a celebrity. For the shoes, I chose a very beautiful blue bow purse. I think that the color really compliments top, and the big bow on the purse gives it extra dazzle. Finish it off with a white crystal bow.

I hope you guys liked the outfits! Comment below on your favorite. Thanks for reading and come back next time!
