Perhaps one of the most famous pieces of 20th century art is the most simple, yet has become the inspiration for an entire decade of fashion- just think of Mod, Twiggy, and shift dresses in the '60s. Kinda reminds me of the Rubik's cube. I wonder if this is where the idea of "color-blocking" was born.
C-blocking is one of my favorite trends this season. The juxtaposition of complementary colors in a single outfit or accessory is genius. I don't have a lot of patterns in my closet, so I often find myself wearing an array of neutral colors, or chiffon blouses with black pants to work. Now that the weather is warmer, I am going to make a conscious effort to wear more color and shake up my look a bit.
I also think it's pretty when you combine colors from the same family, like pinks, reds, and oranges as seen above. Below is my take on the trend with a bone colored sateen blazer from H&M, colbalt blue silk racerback tank, navy wide-leg trousers, and my new Michael Kors Ostrich satchel (mine is tangerine).
Totally sold on the color-blocking trend, but I love how you took the time to think about what color palettes work well together. Great post!
