Blocking.

((linking up with www.thevintageapple.com ))

Color blocking: Wearing two or more drastically different solid color pieces.

Tip: Try red & purple or hot pink & red!






















Print Blocking: Wearing two pieces of drastically different prints.

Tip: Keep both of the patterns within the same color hue or family to keep it polished and less looking like it's the first time you ever dressed yourself.











Would you wear color or print blocking?

    I think they are cute! Even the patterned skirt and striped top. I would have to get a little braver....and live in a bigger city! I don't think people would get it if I wore it in this small town :)

    I love color blocking! My fave combo is navy & coral together...so nautical chic! I haven't tried print blocking, but I'm totally digging that leopard print sweater belted with the striped skirt...LOVE!

    I'm not sure I'm bold enough to go for print blocking, but I'm a huge fan of color blocking!

    I think I can handle color blocking (if I had enough bright pieces!) but not print blocking. I'm not ready for that!
