Trend Worth Trying: Colorblocking

Posted by
Dianna Baros

Pippa Middleton stepped out in a colorblock dress paired with espadrille wedges for a chic summery look that could easily transition from work to a date. The colors are bold but the silhouette is simple and utterly flattering. I can't remember a time when colorblocking wasn't "in" so let's just say it's a perennial favorite you can rock anytime. Here are six affordable ways to do the colorblock rock this season.

1. JCPenney Colorblock dress (swap out the belt that comes included), $39.99


2. Urban Outfitters Colorblock Skirt, $44


3. Bebe Colorblock Shoulder Bag, $89


4. Forever 21 Colorblock Top, $15.80


5. LOFT Colorblock Shift, $79.50


6. Urban Outfitters Colorblock Tank, $44

Yep, Pippa's dress is from Zara, $59.90. She also wore a pink, cream and black version of this dress the day before the royal wedding, also from Zara for $59.90

I'm PRETTY sure I have that "Dress" Pippa is wearing, and I'm pretty sure it's a skirt. A jersey one by Rachel Pally with a white top tucked in. At least it looks exactly like the Pally skirt I have. Either way, I've been wearing it often because it's the colours of the Vancouver Canucks and it's playoff season :-)

PS I've totally been MIA with my book being published and been a bad blogger (slacker). Will drop by more often!

Actually it is the dress from Zara. I got in blue polka dots with a red and black bottom. It's on sale now for 29.99.

don't forget the colorblock shoes from Jessica Simpson! I have the JS Purple Bendie shoes, and they are hot! perfect for a nice summery dress or a LBD

also the Thakoon for Target colorblock shift dress, got it when the Go Int'l reissue was in stores and it's also great for this trend, green/blue colorblocks (you can prob get it on ebay now? or maybe some stores still have it!)
