Oh how I love to color block!
It is one of the most fun styles in fashion and really makes your creativity stretch to see what unconventional styles and colors you can combine.
For the first look a paired a yellow Akira ‘Around the World’ tulle dress with a cropped yellow Forever 21 cardigan. I actually bought the cardigan over 2 years ago and had yet to wear it until this spectacular tulle dress entered my wardrobe. I really love this color blocking because it uses one color instead of the usual two or three. The blocking comes in my pairing different pieces together to create a cohesive but contrasting look. Then to pair down the dressiness I added Doc Marten like boots to the fit. Dressy/street wear is my token style!

To get this fun, trendy look I paired a H&M red puffer vest with a highlighter orange turtleneck to create a complimentary cheery combination. To seamlessly blend the two hues I added a white pleated skirt and white boots. To keep the colors going I styled orange tights and red logo socks.
Tip: If you have trouble finding a balance between two bright colors – add in a neutral to create a seamless flow.
