DIY Color Blocking

Color blocking sweaters, cardigans, blouses, dresses, skirts, flats, necklaces! ALL these things can be found from suburban department stores to the runway. Don't get me wrong, I think it's an adorable and funky trend...especially when colors from opposite ends of the color spectrum are put together. For example: black, brown, and red OR grey, green, and yellow. However, because color blocking is so popular right now, even a simple t-shirt with it can be ridiculously overpriced. So, want to get in on the trend without having to fork out major bucks? Do it yourself!

Pair shirts of varying lengths together with a sweater or jacket. Keep everything clean, crisp, lined, and solid blocks of differing colors. You don't have to spend a dime, my friends :) Also, thrift stores are great places to find inexpensive color blocking pieces--a lot of vintage/mod clothes use this technique. Have fun with it! If you're feeling adventurous, incorporate colored tights into the color blocking.
