Colour Blocking

There comes a time in every girls life that she really comes in to her own and discovers properly the style she is or loves and personally, I find that with age (not to mention a gorgeous stylist girlfriend) I'm getting more confident in who I am and the fashion I love. It really is incredible the feeling you can get from putting on an outfit that just works for you - and I believe all girls no matter age or size has the right to feel that healthy kind of confidence that has them stepping out their front door with a "I can do anything" smile. Fashion Trends come and go and what I have finally realised is to not jump on a trend for the sake of it. Now a days, I will adapt something in to my wardrobe if it's my style and something I feel great in, not necessarily just because it's on trend. Some good examples.

Velvet - a massive no no for me. I haven't liked it since I was little, and I will most likely never like it (never say never though right), so I happily saw that trend come and go.

Colour Blocking. I love it. I have always loved bright colours and statement pieces I can incorporate in to different looks to create new outfits so when this trend hit Australian Shores (after watching it explode overseas during our Winter) I couldn't wait to do some of my own colour blocking. In keeping to my own style however and doing what was right for me with this trend, I chose to more add bright colours with 'outer wear' (think belts, bags, accessories).

Here are some of my pieces I've added in to my wardrobe to do my Anna style colour blocking.

[ Bright Orange shorts I wear with a patterned or plain shirt ]

[ Skinny coloured belt - I bought the aqua one. It was love at first site ]

[ Royal Blue bag - perfect to add a splash of colour to any outfit ]

[ Orange feathered Necklace which I am dying to pair with my aqua belt for my own colour party ]
