look-book #1

The newest section of my blog is to be a look book. Here I will pick a trend from SS11 and using a many high streets stores try to recreate some sort of outfit. The first trend is going to be colour blocking and items here will be electric blocks of colour that will easily make your wardrobe pop.


The colour blocking of blue and yellow contrasts well without being too OTT. The lightweight silky vest is perfect for summer, especially layering whilst the lace skirt add a sophisticated style to this somewhat edgy trend of SS2011.


This outfit is definitely more for the younger generation with the garish colours contrasting against each other perfectly. When mixing colours the easiest to do so with definitely are blue, pink and orange as they are so different from each other yet sit next to each other easily.


For those who are not quite sure about mixing and matching in your face colours it is better to just stick to one which can be dressed down and somewhat tamed with accessories of a matching nature. Orange is a great colour for summer when it comes to showing off any tan, whether natural or fake, and sits perfectly against tans and golds of old.


A key part of this outfit for me is the earrings and I have highlighted these because for those of you out there who aren't so keen on wearing bright clothes then focus on accessories. There is no need for anyone to miss out on this trend that is so great.
