Reader Mail: "Please Explain How To Color Block Clothes!"

I recently got an email from one of my readers asking me to please explain how color blocking works! Here's a little of what Laniece Danielle from Chicago, IL sent:

"Hi China Candy Couture! I read your blog almost everyday and I really love your site, you recently posted some stuff about color blocking and as much as I love fashion I just can't seem to get it together, can you please explain it a little better?"

Well here you go Laniece: Color blocking can be a little tricky if you are not certain of the colors you want to mix and match, but it can also be simple by finding clothes that are already made with a color-block design. Basically, you want to find solid pieces that compliment each other in color, and put your look together from there. For example finding a hot pink bandage skirt, and an orange crop top would be great and you can tie things together by wearing a pair of royal blue pumps with either matching accessories or a matching handbag.

You can also find dresses, and tops that have color-blocking designs on them like the Bailey 44 Tri-color dress in my post picture (Evelyn Lozada wore that dress on VH1's Basketball Wives), where there are more than 2 colors in the dress and you should accent off the least highlighted color, which in that dress is pink! You can also try to find colored pants (not jeans) and you can wear a white or contrasting top and color block your shoes and handbag/accessories. Well I hope this helps you & good luck my fellow fashionista!
