My Friday Fancies: Color Blocking

I honestly love the color block trend, mostly because it discards old rules of wearing too much color and opens up the wardrobe to create endless combinations. For the most fearless, there are few color combinations that do not work.

Color blocking is, obviously, the theme for this week's My Friday Fancies, hosted as always by AV of  Long Distance Loving. I immediately took to the world wide web to find inspiration for this little segment and was very struck by a particular color combo: red, pink, and orange. While it strongly evokes one of my least favorite holidays, Valentine's Day, I still can't help but fall in love with the romantic and bright color pairing (even if it does remind me of my single-hood). And, I guess it does remind me of two of my favorite designers, Kate (Spade) and Tory (Burch).

    Yay, I absolutely love color blocking! :) At first I was a little hesitant but then I realized of how easy and great it was to create a color-block esque outfit. Great job on the outfits... I personally love the first one! :) I'm a new follower of your blog, looking forward to seeing your upcoming blog posts! :)

    Ohhh I love your picks with the reds, pinks and oranges. That Tibi dress Blair wore in that picture is my favorite color blocking piece right now. That middle orange skirt is so adorable!

    I love color blocking and I'm a huge fan of all the examples you showed. I remember seeing Blair and Emily of Cupcakes and Cashmere and both their looks being so cute. I think the orange and pink combo is really nice!
