Color Blocking Fun

-

If you haven't noticed, I wear a lot of neutral colors like white, black and tan. For example, my past posts about neutrals and my tie dye outfit. I wanted to put a little more color into my blog so I did a color block outfit for you all! Color blocking is taking bold colors that are opposite on the color wheel and pairing them together to create a wide contrast. Fun fact: black and white is also a color block!




(Tank: Forever 21 // Pants: Urban Outfitters // Shoes: Cotton On)


For this, I chose to work with the color blue and bright coral. There is something about these two colors together that I really like. I saw this  picture of Kate Beckinsale and got inspiration from her color blocking. The tank and the pants were originally purchased for a photo shoot that I did for a school project but I decided to keep them after because I really liked them! The tank is a thin material and I would normally throw a cardigan or blazer over but today was so hot! It's September and still feels like July. Nonetheless, I will take advantage of the sunshine while it is still here.




One reason why I decided to keep this pair of pants is because they are different. I don't have anything like it. I love the color, fit and price! I believe I got them on sale for just $10! They are high waisted with a ribbon bow belt. It looks good with tops tucked into it. That way you can see the high waist and belt. The structure and fit of the pants give a more tailored look. It slims from the top to bottom, leaving it to look like a skinny fit. The pants are cropped and since I'm shorter but wearing wedges, I cuffed the bottom a couple more times. The inside of the pant is a silk material so the bottom has a little shine.


I paired this color blocking outfit with neutral accessories and shoes. The wedges are new and I got them for such a good deal! Can't go wrong with black wedges! I've recently purchased a bunch of new shoes so maybe I'll do a shoe haul post soon?




I've been loving this sunshine lately! But I know, soon enough I will be putting all the shorts and tanks away and trading them for sweaters, boots and scarfs. I'm excited though! Out with one season, in with the other!

First Aid Beauty Tinted Moisturizer  Sephora $28 This has been a holy grail for me lately. It is great for every day use. It's light weight for sensitive skin. There are 5 shades and I am in the shade medium. I wear this as is and if I need more coverage, I use this as a primer and put my foundation over it.  Vital Proteins Matcha Collagen Vitalproteins.com | | Amazon $49 I have been loving matcha lately! I switch off between coffee and matcha for my morning pick-me-up's. This is a brand new product to me. I've been doing a lot of research on collagen, gut health, skin/body care, etc...... you know, real adult like stuff that we don't always think about. Collagen has so many great benefits for hair, skin, nails and joints. Matcha itself is a natural energizer, high in antioxidants so this was a great pairing for me! I will say it is a bit pricey - you can find others similar to it on Amazon. Definitely do your research before purchasing to know if this
