the march issue cover of elle magazine was…in a word…fabulous! did you happen to see it? if not…i scanned it for you below…i have to say…i am really loving this whole color blocking that has been showing up on the runways as well as fashion magazines…
there is something about the intensity in pure…undiluted color…worn alone…the shock value of a bright…even moreso when fearlessly mixed…
so how to mix?
it depends on your bravery level… =) i’ve written before about wearing different tones of the same color…this would be a great first step…
if you want to venture out further…a great way to pick corresponding colors is by looking at the color wheel…opposite colors on the color wheel make for great color combo’s…
but ultimately…all we need to do is look at nature…or pictures…or…well…all that is around us…for example…when you look at a bed of flowers…and you love the different color combinations…why not incorporate that same color combo into an outfit…
here are some wonderful color blocking combinations to inspire you…
what colors have you put together to form a color blocking outfit with your separates?

I’m finding the really bright colors look harsh on me these days. Though I do love that aqua blue on the blouse in the first pic…
deja pseu – there are colors that i can’t wear that i used to be able to…better to know what colors work…and which don’t…right?
amazing! and i, too, “heart” the pink and green. so 80’s, but it looks so fresh š
