Chocolate Laced: 21 Day Challenge - Day 4 - Color Block

by - Thursday, August 18, 2011



One thing I dislike about the city I live in is the absolute lack of things to do. The fact that I don't drive also kills me. But, tonight, the former will change. I'm going to a party on a boat and I'm excited. I'd love to blog the outfit I picked out for it, but I don't want to bombard myself with multiple posts a day. *light bulb* I know! I'll  insert a picture of it somewhere in my next post. Whew! Blogging everyday is a huge challenge! Speaking of challenges...

Day 4: Color blocking is a fancy term for large chunks of solid colors worn together. It's usually bright colors, but muted is really pretty too.

I spent all night cleaning my closet. I clean that thing all the time, but maybe if I did it more often, it wouldn't get so messy! Well, in the process of cleaning it (which I didn't finish by the way) I thought about this challenge and how I would color block my outfit. I adore color blocking. Whether you're color blocking contrasting colors, monochromatic colors, secondary colors, analogous colors, or whatever colors! I'm just a big, adoring fan. My approach to color blocking would have been all brights out, but I decided that since I've yet to color block with a neutral color, I'll do that instead.

What I'm Wearing
Cardigan: Heritage (gift)
Top: Gap ($10)
Skirt: Forever 21 ($6 thrifted)
Belt: H&M (3 for $12; so $4)
Earrings: Forever 21 (pack of 8 for $6)
Bracelets: Assorted (old)
Flats: Nine West (gift)
TOTAL: $26

I love having braids because I get to do all kinds of crazy things with my hair. I decided that I'd wrap it up in a turban and just let it hang. I really wanted to do a huge hair bow, but that needs a bit of practice! I currently have the ponytail wrapped into a bun to keep the hair out my face. I kinda like this style, too.

Okay, I know it's still pretty bright, but I wanted to save the mostly neutral color blocking for fall! Man, I can't wait until fall!

Before you go! Look to the left of the screen! Do you see that little poll I just added on my sidebar? Could you, would you, with a goat move your mouse on over and vote?! Please and thank you! I'm stuck. I don't know what my next Inside My Closet post should be! Help me!
