Color Block Me!

Color Blocking is all the rage for the upcoming Spring. It also is keeping my mind off the gross looking snow that has accumulated this winter.

I definitely have a pink skirt at home, but do not have any jewel tone tops to pair with it. I have been looking to these images above. B. Jones Style blog has been a huge inspiration knocking my usual grays, whites, and blacks out of the park for this upcoming season. She pulls together jewel tones and neutrals like nobody's business!

The image I pulled from Glamour's magazine article online showcases a bright blue with an orange skirt combo. Amazingly done for the runway and can easily be interpreted for the real world.

Lastly, I pulled together some chic and bright pieces for my 'Color Block' Polyvore post. I think its best to keep two jewel tones that compliment each other in an outfit and tie it together with a neutral piece: either a blazer, pair of heels, or a sweet clutch.

And for those who are not 100% ready to commit to a full blown color block-fest, I would suggest trying a bright lip or eyeshadow with a bright/jeweled tone top or other accessory. 

How do you plan to color block this Spring? Send me links via email or posts. I would love to hear your thoughts!

Hey Jackie, glad you introduced yourself on FBFF! I'm finally saying "hi". I'm feeling inspired by the color blocking. I recently got a thrifted bright pink silk skirt. Looks like I just need a good bright top to work with it now.

HI! Thanks for stopping by! That pink skirt you scored at the thrift store sounds great! :) Bright colors are definitely a huge inspiration this Spring.

Wow! Gorgeous colors! I've always been a beige girl. Chloe's my favorite. But this year I feel kind of appealed with bright colors, so wanna take the risk and try all those neon colors, hopefully they suit my skin tone! Thanks for the inspirational post!

:D Yup, same dilemma here, most of my wardrobe is grey/black/blue, and with the weather the way it is, I definitely need a pick-me-up. I'm actually doing a closet purge right now so maybe something fun will turn up!
