spring/summer 2012 trend: color blocking…

while color blocking has been going strong for a few seasons now…it shows no signs of slowing down…so how do you color block?  the easiest way…is to find a piece that has done the color blocking for you…as in the example below…

easy peasy…right?  again…as with any trend…you can do small doses or go all out…because color blocking is so “in” right now…if you are out and about…you can pretty much spot it in scarves…shoes…handbags…as always…you choose how much or how little to incorporate into your wardrobe…
if you want to try a full on color blocking outfit…the possible combination are endless…what two or three colors do you love?  you can work with colors that are close…like red & pink…or blue & green…or if you are more adventurous…go for a few colors that clash…and you’ll fit right in…
now of course…as with anything…you need to be careful…as you don’t want to look like a clown…right?  look at things around you…whether you see two beautiful colors together in a vase full of flowers…or in a picture…take inspiration from all around you…and see what winning combinations you can come up with…
