Spring Trends 2012

This trend has been in style since last spring. Basically, color blocking is mixing bright colors together.
There are a few rules with color blocking:
First rule: The rule of two-thirds. This is when you look at a colour wheel and you connect three colours that contrast and on the color wheel, they create a triangle. Ex: Green, Purple and Orange.
Second Rule: Use colors that compliment each other. Ex: Blue and Yellow.
Third rule: Always wear something neutral with your outfit. 

Bold prints are a little bit hard for me to style one reason being they seem a little bit intimidating. But when styling a bold printed article of clothing, make sure to make it the statement of the whole outfit. Pair it with neutrals or muted colors like blacks, browns, and whites. 

Oranges and Anoraks are two separate trends. I put them together in an outfit because they are two things I wouldn't normally wear. It also isn't a very big part of my wardrobe. When  paring oranges, make sure it would be the bright color of the outfit. Pair Anoraks with dresses to give it a more girly feel. 

Pastels are a classic spring trend. It can be worn with pretty much anything. Brown leather, play it up and make it edgy with black leather. It gives the outfit a very girly vibe but of course there's a little bit of class in everything. 

Metallic is another thing that is very hard to pull off. It also very intimidating. Pair a silver metallic piece with everything black and let it be the statement of the outfit with a studded clutch and killer heels. 

Peplum is a big trend this spring. It is again, a very hard thing to style around. It gives any outfit a very sophisticated and girly vibe. Pair it with heels and some pearls and you're good to go.
