“Color-blocking is the use of contrasting blocks or panels of solid colors”.

Color-blocking is a style trend that is timeless. Though it is not for everyone, it is a great way to be innovative with your style. You can color-block by creating a monochromatic look (one color throughout look but in different hues), a separates look (mix garments of contrasting colors) or a stand-alone look (one color-blocked garment or accessory). This look would fall into the separates category, since all of my pieces are contrasting colors. This wrap-tie ruffled blouse has been seen on all the cool gals this summer, but I still adore this gorgeous piece. Paired with my olive trouser pants from way back when, the stand out for me of course are the blood orange mules from Public Desire. I absolutely love these shoes; they were a must buy for my obsession with mules, which have been my staple for the summer (quick slip on, no fuss). So, if you are not sure about color-blocking head to toe just yet or color at all for that matter, I would suggest adding vibrant accent pieces to your look to experiment with first.
