Black and Brown

There are so many things that are hot in the fashion world that used to be considered taboo. One example is combining red and pink.You used to never see a combination of these two colors until color blocking became popular. Another example is wearing white after Labor Day. This was something else that you never saw but is now very common. White is one of the most popular colors for Fall and Winter this year! I love all the changes that are going on and am super excited to see what's to come.

It used to be so taboo to wear black with brown that it was ridiculous. It is a color combo that I love and I'm glad it's acceptable in the fashion world. The warm tones that the shades of brown have combine with the sharp intense black color and it creates a fantastic look. I've even combined the two colors in decorating my home. I love it!

Neon and Neutrals

I love this look for many reasons. First of all, bringing a neon piece of clothing to an outfit makes the outfit "pop" and makes it fun. Secondly, the neon piece is paired with neural colors so it's not overwhelming and crazy. Thirdly, it goes perfectly with the color blocking fashion trend that I've been obsessing over. It's a very popular trend that's easy to do! (For more info on color blocking, see my last posting). Fourth, this high waist skirt is a great way to elongate the legs. Lastly, the layers of this outfit make it look dimensional, sophisticated, and is perfect for the sometimes unpredictable summer weather.

Colorblock Dress

Color blocking is still in. This is a trend that's been around for a few seasons now. It is still around because it is so trendy looking! If you're not aware of what color blocking is, it involves "blocks" of color comprising an outfit. You can do it with any colors you choose, and they aren't always colors that you think go together. I did a color blocking outfit the other day with red shoes, a pink blazer, a green purse, black leggings, and a blue top under my pink blazer. It was crazy but fun!

I found this perfect dress for summer that goes with the trend of color blocking. It is a Clearwater Colorblock Dress and is on sale. The top is made of chiffon and the accordion style pleated skirt is in grey. As you can see, the grey and blue are separated by a fun, lime green sash. It's 33 inches in length if you're wanting to know how long it is.

This dress would the perfect thing to wear to a summer wedding. It's fun and bright and very trendy. This would go perfectly with some turquoise or lime green shoes if you're looking for a fun, bright look or grey pumps if you are looking to tone things down a little bit.
