I have to admit I really love the Color Blocking trend right now. I’m a big color person, so when I can wear 2 (or more) colors in the same garment, I’m sold.

Don’t get me wrong, I love patterns (probably my next fashion post) but deep down, I’m a solids type of girl… What usually happens is that I start with a solid, color blocked base and add patterned bags, shoes, scarves and sweaters on top.
