Remember playing with color blocks when you were a kid? Stacking one color block on top of another while building a colorful pyramid castle.
Well it is time again to let your imagination run colorful with the new 2011 Spring trend, "color blocking."
Since Gucci introduced their new Spring collection, celebrities have been embracing the 80's inspired style. I am a huge fan of modern vintage inspired clothing so I am particularly excited about this one.
Even Joan Rivers on Fashion Police (E channel) proclaimed this look as "Gotta Have it."
The idea is to mix two to three different solid bright colors together.
Do not be afraid to incorporate patterns as well.
Here is a very inexpensive and easy to "color block" as well as add some style, flair and elegance to your outfit.
I have picked up these bright colorful silky scarfs at TJ Max for $15 each!
The blue one is Nicolle Miller and the Green is Cynthia Rowely.
Just throw it over a simple top or blazer to dress it up and add style.
You can even add a cool vintage broach (as seen in the pic w/scarf alone) to the side where the scarf would tie for additional flare.
Scarfs are also great because they are so versatile and can be worn in many ways.
Here is another example.
I look forward to seeing this trend (color blocking) this Spring/Summer. I think it is fun, girly and can be worn so many ways. If you choose to use a bright colorful scarf with any of your outfits, you will find that it can go a long way.
Let me know what you think? Love it or Hate it? Would you wear this look this Spring? What do you think of the scarf idea? Would love to hear your thought.
Thank you for stopping by :)
