Color blocking is not a look I wear too often, but I absolutely love it! I actually own a few pieces that have “color blocking” incorporated right into them with different sized stripes and bright colors (does that make me fashion lazy? yeah probably does). A bright pink with a bright red is so vibrant and gorgeous, whether the top is red or the skirt is red and vice versa, I just love the look.
For the Everybody, Everywear assignment, I paired a short-sleeve silk pink blouse with a red mini pencil skirt… I often wear the pink blouse with work ensembles and typically only wear the red skirt during the summer. Since these two colors are such a statement, I paired the outfit with a white pair of pumps and pearl necklace and stud earrings. I feel so girly in this ensemble, which makes it perfect for Valentine’s Day. And with that said… I love theming for the holidays and already had a Valentine’s work ensemble and date night outfit picked out before I knew what the EBEW challenge would be, so tomorrow I will be wearing my official Valentine’s Day inspired outfit (which may or may not involve some hearts)!

This color combination is rocking the blogger-land today and I have never worn it ‘coz I don’t seem to have these shades in my closet.
