Color Blocking.

friday, friday, gotta get down on friday. . .

I've been a fan of this white-hot trend since before it was referred to as color blocking. Back then, it was called: Pair a bunch of bright colors together without looking like you went apeshit. Color-blocking means making sure that you pair a couple (or a few, depending on just how bold you are) meshing colors together to create a statement outfit.

Combinations that I can't get enough of?

emerald / navy / black
watermelon red / emerald / black
amythest / tangerine / white
fuschia / yellow / white (pictured!)

When pairing your brights, always choose a neutral to balance out your outfit. 
White is clean, crisp and stunning, and draws even more attention to the colors you've paired.

    LOVE color blocking (also before it was called color blocking) -- even did it in my date outfit last night (as you saw!) Yellow is the new black.

    love you!
