Spring 2012 Trend Alert - Color Blocking


Color blocking is not a new trend, in fact it was very popular in Spring and Summer 2011.
But this trend is back and brighter then ever before!
For those of you that haven't heard of color blocking, the basic concept is to
wear 2-3 solid contrasting colors in an outfit.  But as Glamour.com warns, wear more than
3 colors and you may start looking like Rainbow Brite! 
(But it all depends on the pairing choice, so don't think that's a rule!)


One of the easiest ways to begin wearing this trend in winter weather
is to buy the hottest item in retail right now- colored jeans!

I know that Old Navy, American Eagle, and Wet Seal 
all have a wide selection of colored jeggings/jeans as well! 

Pair these colored bottoms with a bold colored top to achieve the color blocking trend. 
Some great options are:
Old Navy

This top would look super cute with pretty much any colored jeans 
and maybe a bright colored necklace!

My coworker Shayla has this shirt, and I loved it on her! She wore hers with basic denim, 
but they would also look awesome with royal blue bottoms!

If you're not so daring and are wanting to ease into the trend, I would suggest pairing your colored jeans with basic colors such as black and white clothing like these celebrities did:


Happy color blocking! :)
