Color Block

I know color blocking has been around for ages but it seems to have gotten an extra push this spring/summer. I have yet to try the hardcore blocking that i have seen on some lovely fashion sites mostly because i dont own a lot of one color items. I did however find a pair of skinny purple jeans in my closet and recently bought some pink patent pumps and i thought these two made quite a pretty match.

I think my tendency to color coordinate is where my blocking downfall comes in. I have kept it in the same palette though using pinks, coral, blue and purple which i think all match pretty well, red, yellow and green are outsiders for the moment but its not colors i usually wear anyway so i am not going to force myself into a color crazy situation and end up looking like a clown!

What would you wear with this purple pink combo?

Purple skinny jeans from Sissyboy
Pink patent pumps from ebay
Rings from Giftgirls

  11. Those shoes are gorgeous!!! And look really cute with purple skinnys. I think I agree with Abbie, that outfit would look super cute with a plain white t-shirt, so the pink pops out more.
    Also, I want those rings!!
    your feet look tiny! haha
