Color Blocking Continues

COLOR BLOCKING CONTINUES

It's a trend that has been around for a few seasons & continued during Fall 2012 fashion week runway shows. From high end designers to mainstream fashion brands, color blocked fashions will continue to be marketed. I just wonder how long this very popular trend will last.

This bright color blocked dress was purchased back in late winter & 

I'm still wearing it well into summer!

Marvelous Mint!
My "Tuesday Trend" this week is certainly worthy of a little blog love. Enjoy!

Back east the temps were chilly so my AZ blood needed to layer! I love that my look would still look fashionable if I shed a couple layers, left with the simple navy stripe tank & mint jeans on a hotter day... maybe add a hot pink or bright yellow bracelet or fun neon necklace for a punch of color.

Here are a couple fabulous looks from pinterest & one ensemble I created using polyvore (all pieces from JCrew). 

My ensemble: mint skinny jeans: JCrew, stipe tank: JCrew, neon pink cable knit sweater: JCrew, jean jacket:Anthropologie, flip flops: JCrew, sunnies: Diane von Furstenberg

My mint pinboard...
Look for more of my fashion boards here!

Mint as seen above, can be paired with SO many fabulous colors & prints. A pair of mint jeans should be a staple in your closet this summer... and even into fall. I love the taupe & leopard with the cool mint, exactly for this reason. Pair it with pastel tones... all the way to shades of neon! My absolute favorite color palette has to be the navy, MINT... & hot pink! Hence, my photo up top :). 

Go buy your mint... in the lighter shade, or with a hint of blue or green, they're all FUN for the season!
