Color blocking with a twist

Yes, it has been a while since this trend hit the ramp, but, color blocking is still going strong. If you are tired of the been there done that royal blue-black bandage dresses or the neons with pastels color blocked dresses with geometric patterns, read on!


Spring 2012 has welcomed this trend with open arms but stay with bright colors and mix the trend with a fit that is in. I love tulip skirts, and, when I saw this dress while I was travelling in Spain - I just had to have it! Some other color block dresses with a tulip cut - metallic, pink and purple and fuschia and silver.



Color blocking is hard to play with if you are looking to add more colors. Stay away from colors in your accesories (including shoes) and stick to a single tone - gold never fails!

With the first wiff of Spring, I know we are happy to stow away our greys and blacks, but, we still pull out that little black dress for a night out in the city. Color block dresses in flowy textures and metallic accesories will easily see you through the night in shades that only the sun has seen in the past!

Happy color blocking until next time!

    1. This is where I bought the outfit - BLANCO, Spain. www.blanco.com

      They have peppy clothes at a good price point. It's a pity they are not in the United States yet.
