If you want to jump onto this season’s colorblocking trend, but don’t want to spend a ton, dig in your closet for fun separates in solid colors you can mix and match:
Study our post on how to find the right colors for your wardrobe and makeup, and get to coordinating! For this look, we paired a draped jersey Vivienne Westwood top with a bright yellow Tibi skirt, muted by a white blazer by Ann Demeulemeester. A Marc Jacobs bag, Tom Ford sunglasses, and Pierre Hardy wedges complete the look:
You certainly don’t have to spend this much to get a vibrant essence. I personally stopped into Topshop yesterday and saw lots of affordable options.
Be inspired by a few more colorblocking celeb looks:

Thanks for the info. Claire! I might really try this. But I want to go with the really vibrant colours to make all of the colours pop.
And is that Solange I see in the picture of Kanye?
She looks so cute :-)
To whom is she speaking by the way? Is it that Palermo chick?
I hope not, she’s nothing but bad news and Solange it too cute so stay away Solange,

I love this trend! But seems expensive to find the right pieces and will I get multiple wears and is this too temporary to invest in? These are the questions, ya’ll! :)
