block party summer.

I needed to do some research to prepare for the {color}block party I'm hosting this Friday. Since this week's round of Friday's Fancies is all about rocking the colorblock, I decided to pull together a round-up of some of my current faves. I love the mod feel of colorblock and only wish I had more of this trend in my closet!


left column: long-sleeved dress + belt + tank + cuff
middle column: bracelet + wallet + purse + skirt
right column: dress + pumps + earrings + cap-sleeved dress

With the clothes which do live in my closet, I find myself more inclined to go bold this summer. I'm not shying away from bright {and unexpected!} color combinations, thanks in part to my drawer full of fun J.Crew chino shorts. {Thank heavens for the factory outlet!} Suffice it to say, I hope the colorblock trend sticks around for a little longer...I have it to thank for my plunge into the fabulous world of color!

Join the {color}block party this Friday and link up for Friday's Fancies! Click here for all the details :)

    I'm obsessing (just a little...or maybe a lot) over these dresses. This post reminds me of the scene in the movie The September Issue where Grace is pulling looks for the color block shoot and Anna tells her that basically that Grace obviously doesn't know what color blocking means. Such a great movie! And I think this is a brilliant idea for a party dress code. Summer White parties are overrated.

    I'm loving the bright colors too - although I'm not quite as daring in the color blocking and tend to pair a statement piece with a more neutral outfit.
    excited to be you newest follower!
