The Spring 2013 runways were flooded with the black and white color combo, but this duo is
always en vogue so this season take a walk on the bright side with color blocked fashions. While the color blocking trend has been a retail darling for a couple of years now, we’re getting knocked over the head with bigger, bolder blocks of color in 2013. Color is here to stay and bold strokes, primary hues, vivid neons, and pretty pastels are all playing their part in this fashion phenomenon. But, how is one to make them all work?
This trend is fun to experiment with and extremely versatile making it easy to assimilate into an existing wardrobe. Color blocking is also an easy trend to accomplish in your day-to-day wear. One can either color block with bright, bold contrasting colors or monochromatic colors.

Don't worry if you're a girl on a budget who can't afford to buy a new wardrobe this Spring because color blocking can be mastered with the clothes already in your closet. Color blocking works best when you can visualize what hues pair well together. Take solid pieces you already own, then experiment by trying fresh combinations—say, pale yellow and hot pink. Pair a bright color straight leg jean with a simple top and flats to pull of an effortless color blocking look.

If you're still feeling apprehensive about this bold trend consider making a small statement. Instead of a head-to-toe ensemble, try a color-blocked accessory. You can expand you color blocking look with unique accessories, such as handbags and jewelry. Even look for different patterns with accessories. Don't be afraid to go for those bolder pieces to really add definition to your outfit. One of the easiest ways to bring some color into your life and push some boundaries is by adding a colorful handbag to your outfit. When wearing a simple outfit, you can always add a much needed pop of color with a handbag. Not in the mood for a bold bag? Take your Spring 2013 look to new heights with color block shoes. You can color block with patterns or solid colors. These will certainly become your go-to shoes to add a pop of color throughout the season and they're a great excuse to go shoe shopping!
