I have a Crush on Pink and Red!
Color blocking is a recurring trend that has made it’s way back onto the Spring 2012 runways. As you peer into your closet for something to wear tomorrow morning… think loud! Grab striking colors that you would not normally pair together, the louder the better. Retire your black tee and pair of jeans for a bit, I am all about pairing the bold and brights together.
So you like this idea of color blocking but you really are not sure where to start? Here’s how to begin…
Three simple ways you can color block:
- Monochromatic color blocking: you choose the same color for your whole outfit, except vary the hues
- Bold color blocking separates: for example, a pink top paired with red bottoms…throw in a bold clutch and you’re golden.
- Buy a pre color blocked outfit 😉 …by the designer
Here are a few simple color blocking examples:
Being a hairstylist, I feel the need to show you how this trend is relevant in the world of hair. Color blocking hair you say?? My preference would be a monochromatic theme. But here are a few pictures of how the trend carries over into the beauty world 😉
Happy Color Blocking!
