Neutral Colorblocking and A Giveaway



Colorblocking is back, but did it ever really leave the scene? This trend has been seen on many of the recent fashion shows, Michael Kors' F/W 2013 collection being one of them. I absolutely love being able to highlight different parts of the body with the use of different colors. Light or dark, complimentary or analogous colors, hues or tints, all tell a story. I like to believe this neutral ensemble says, "I'm over you, Winter."
This trend can be relayed in other ways than a garment that is actually colorblocked, wearing pink pants and a yellow top, paired with an orange jacket is another way to incorporate the trend. It's a fun way to play with fashion! This jacket from Kembrel has a retro feel, like something out of the MadMen set.  I like to think it's because of it's collar- less nature and scalloped hem.




Jacket and watch C/O: Kembrel, top: Club Monaco, jeans: Guess, pumps and jewelry: thrifted
