APRIL’S STYLE INSPIRATION: COLOR BLOCKING

For the month of April I’m all about color blocking. From shoes to bags, color blocking is one of the hottest trends for spring. For me, it all started when I saw the Gucci spring 2011 collection. I actually think it was one of the best collections from Gucci in awhile. The deep v-necks and silky fabrics in rich jewel tones had me in a frenzy. I believe Tom Ford would be proud.

 I’m already a fan of bright rich colors so the color blocking trend is not far fetched for me.
When I look at the Jil Sander 2011 spring collection I’m inspired to wear bright rich colors in blouson over sized shapes that I can belt. The collection made me think,this is how you do mummu chic (lol).

Last week I saw a fantabulous photo of one of my fave stylists June Ambrose looking ever so chic and sophisticated in an orange blazer, fuchsia pants, and a turquoise turban. I WANTED HER ENTIRE OUTFIT. It was perfection.

I’m hoping to find bright rich colors in classic pieces to create my own color blocked looks. I will be searching for which plus size brands are paying attention to this trend and making pieces for the plus size and curvy. Of course, I will share it all with you guys.

How do you feel about the color blocked trend?
