1. Choose a top and bottom (or, like me, a top over a dress).
2. Ensure neither are a neutral (black, white, brown, khaki, denim, etc)
3. Check that they are different colors and...
voila, blocks of color.

Actually, I’ve oversimplified the color blocking process. I forgot the step where I have to fight my urge to use a patterned piece instead of a solid.

Past color blocking:
Question: is it color blocking if there are only two blocks?
Yes?
ReplyDeletePurple is such a great color for red heads but I must confess to missing your fabo pattern-mixing :)
I totally agree that color-blocking was a bit of a no brainer. Maybe next month there will have to be something crazy- maybe a "big hat" month, or a vacation wear or something more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI love that look of the shirt over a dress which I copied yesterday.
ReplyDeleteOnce the 31 for 31 is over I will try my hand at the colour blocking - those colours suit you perfectly.
Yup, *yawn* to colour-blocking. Come on, it's not that difficult to mix colours!
ReplyDeleteThis is a nice simple outfit for you. I love the red tassel earrings!
Wow! love your outfits. btw, that shoes is a treasure, eh. Very stylish. :)
