Colour Blocking

Colour blocking. A trend that expresses everything I love about fashion - experimentation, excitement and dangerous designs. However, I have to admit that I am not one for experimenting with colours - I am a culprit of sticking to blacks and nudes, my wardrobe hoarded with black dresses (which, admittedly, you can never have too many of!). So after being inspired by S/S 11 from one of my favourite designers - Jil Sander, I decided it was about time to be a little more experimental and inject some colour into my wardrobe. Zara is my favourite high street store at the moment - the soft fabrics, elegant cuts and fits and now their ever expanding colour palette. So, with Sander in mind, a few months ago I purchased a hot pink shift - bargain at £25, and haven't taken it off since. The colour goes surprisingly well with my ginger hair (and complexion), and looks great with flats or heels. Last week, wages in hand, I went back to Zara and was even more daring - both with my money (spending over 100....how?!) and colour choice, buying a green skirt. I surprised myself, I love it and the cut is gorgeous. Next step.....Tangerine.
