COLOR BLOCKING

Are you familiar with this fashion term and look?  Color Blocking refers to putting contrasting but complementary colors together in one outfit.  In my own wardrobe pairings I have had a lot of fun putting together unexpected colors and on these grey winter days a pop of color cheers me up.    

The Budget Fashionista blog put together this list of colors that would meet the above criteria:

Cobalt Blue, Yellow, Orange

Chocolate Brown, Pink, Peach

Purple, Bright Blue, Teal

Deep blue, bright pink, White

Coral, Grey, Ivory

Style Prompt's blog shared this color wheel and a few of her thoughts on this trend:

"The most popular theory for combining colors is called the rule of two-thirds. How you achieve the rule of two-thirds starts by making an equilateral triangle (a triangle with 3 equal sides) on the color wheel. In it’s most basic form, the points at the ends of this triangle will be touching either red-blue-yellow or orange-green-purple. From there, you pick two of the three colors that the triangle touches. These colors will almost always harmonize together beautifully."
