Color Block

By -
Colorblock is a staple of the 60s mod look, and had revivals in the 80s and late 90s. I remember the one from the 90s involving ringer tees, but that could be because my high school knowledge of style had yet to extend beyond Deb. This go around, colorblock is making a statement on shoes and the two most popular dress silhouettes, minis and tunics.
First row: layered ruffle dress, Erin Featherston for Target $44.99
Miu Miu-like brogue heel, modcloth.com $99.99
long cami, Lucky, Macy's $35.99
Marc by Marc Jacobs button mini dress, shopbop $288
empire waist tee, Sweetees, bluefly.com $52
patent flats, Naturalizer $39.99
white and purple dress, Style Violet $34
Second row: embellished dress, Forever 21 $39
purple and grey silk mini smock dress, FCUK $168
pleated dress, W.D.N.Y., overstock.com $64.99
blue mini, Anthropoligie $178
purple, red and black dress, Macy's $18
tee, Urban Outfitters $29.99

One of the nice things about this trend, is you can use it to incorporate color into your wardrobe if you are normally color shy. Think of it as a tutorial on coordination.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories .
