So with the back and forth of warm and cool weather, dressing and planning a look is like playing the guessing game. I like to keep a good coat in my wardrobe in case of style emergencies so I grabbed a trench I had to round out the concept of this look.
One of the hardest concepts to pull off successfully is color blocking. Why? Well, it’s definitely easy to pile on too many colors and to appear too matcha-matchy. The key to color blocking (for beginners) is building around a color that you want to “pop” or stand out with neutral colors. I would suggest grabbing a color that is your favorite bold color and allow that to take “center stage” while blocking with colors that are absolutely neutral. I say absolutely because nude is neutral however it has “tones” that can be hard to figure out which goes well with your own skin tone. Try starting with black, white, or another primary color. If you are unsure about color blocking, you can also contrast colors for ease of manipulation of color. If you have a question, please ask me! (smile) I’ll explain more in my pictures….

Wow! I LOVE love love the white tee + pencil skirt paired with this gorgeous trench! And the color pop on the shoes is exactly the same hue as the coat – awesomeness! Great advice on the color blocking girl, nudes are innocent looking but they are tricky to figure out. Picking the one that matches your skin tone is truly a challenge, especially with them being so popular and available in so many cool options you just want them all! Me likey this post!
