1. Fall 2011 Fashion Trend: The Art of Color Blocking
This post is dedicated to all of our autumn color blocking fashionistas! The best place to start
when working color blocking into your outfit is with your accessories. Jewelry, belts,
footwear and handbags are all an opportunities to introduce color into your look. Below are a
few examples of color blocking pieces to give you an idea of what to target when putting
together your personal color block creations!
Accessorize with color at the waist. B-Low the Belt make a wide variety of bright colored
skinny belts as pictured above. You can also take a plain black dress and add an oversized
cherry red belt paired with some red and black pumps, then try finishing your look with red
lipstick for a sophisticated and coordinated color block look.
2. Red, blue, purple and yellow are just a few choices that you have at your fingertips as a color
blocking option. These bright blue suede mary jane wedges by Guseppe Zanotti will add a
full chuck of color blocked in one area of your look, making these high end wedge pumps are
the perfect stand out accessory.
Once again working color blocking into you outfit with footwear is the best route to go.
Check out the two toned grey and black booties by Maison Martin Margiela pictured above.
These are the ultimate high end accessories to have for your outfit. The peep toe is so Cali-
3. chic and the high low cut of is ultra-edgy. Pair these with a pair of black luxury leggings and
maybe a grey washed leather jacket and you’re ready to rock.
A color blocked luxury handbag is the perfect start to color blocking your look. The fine
leather two toned black and orange shoulder bag by Sonia Rykiel would work wonderfully
for an earth toned tri-color blocked outfit. Try an earthy brown pair of corduroy skinny pants,
paired with a bright blue tunic top, layered with a mustard yellow cable knit sweater.
4. Suede and leather are two fall trends that you can’t pass up this autumn. The above pictured
two toned black and grey satchel by Marc by Marc Jacobs is a must have for this season for
sure. Pair this status bag with any one of the bright colored leather dresses that are popular
this season.
