What is color blocking, and why is it a trend?
Color Blocking: Wearing two or more solid blocks of color in a single outfit.
Sounds simple, doesn’t it? Well it is simple, yet it is a trend we have seen on NYFW’s runways again for spring/summer 2012. Now the reason it is popular, and mentioned as a trend is because color blocking is most commonly styled with bright colors. Often almost neon shades! That isn’t something for the faint of heart. However, you can still wear the color blocking trend by doing the simplest definition of the trend. Combine two solid block of color.
That is what I did for today’s outfit. I simply combined to solid block of color in the form of a shirt and a cardigan. However, I chose two colors that I don’t normally wear together for my color blocking outfit. Red and Purple. Because, it was cold out I decided to add a scarf and knee high socks with my oxfords. What do you think? What is your opinion of the color blocking trend?

I like color blocking…because it encourages me to try colors together that I normally wouldn’t.

I think that color blocking is very nice to see on other persons but it is not easy to wear. Btw I love your combination, very fresh and suny!
