Rules for Colour Blocking.....

....there are none!

Colour blocking is a concept that is going to be massive this summer. Essentially colour blocking is wearing items of clothing that incorporate at least 2 colours. These can be complementary colours (colours on opposite sides of the colour wheel) or colours which are complimentary (side by side on the colour wheel). It seems that this summer, anything goes. Put it together and if you like it, wear it.
If you’re nervous about colour blocking start with fewer electric, neon colours. Or invest in items at first that have done the hardwork for you – such as this Topshop dress that I am wearing today. Whatever you decide, take a deep breath and go for it!



I'm wearing:
Dress - Topshop at Christmas. A few colour blocking dresses here, here and here.
Belt - Vintage fayre. Similar here
Shoes - Primark
Bag - Similar here
