3. How to Color Block?
A. Blazer-it-up
For the apple figure ladies, this is for you. Flaunt them slender legs, and top it up with a well-fit color blazer. Play around with the colors, while the blazer gives your shoulder the extra vibrant lift you need to start off a great day!
B. Heavy Bottoms
Color blocking is for everyone, every shape and every figure. This is especially for the pear-shaped ladies. Bring out the best of your figure by pairing a tight fitting top with a stylish Harem pants. Again, play around with the colors and remember not to highlight on the hips but the waists or the shoulders instead.
C. Full of life
Blessed are the ones with the perfect model-like figures because designers are coming up with vibrant colors skinny jeans today. Match it with a pair of bright color flats or heels, you will not go wrong. Now go ahead with your head held high, and turn heads wherever you go!

E. Accessorize
The great thing about color blocking is its flexibility. As it is made up of a range of colors, this style does not restrict you in any way. Think Nicki Minaj when you want to pull off color blocking. Get bold, try new things. Blend in a few colors to your lips, carry a really odd pouch and yet nobody would judge you.
I, for one, am a big fan of color blocking and I personally feel that this is an extremely fun fashion trend to venture!
