I’m SO excited to be starting a fun, new blog series with one of my FAVORITE bloggers out there!
Her name is Lauryn (spelled the cool way) and she is fabulous! Be sure to check out her blog, Lauryncakes here !
This style series is something fun we will do from time to time as we explore all of those fun trends out there. This time, we are showing off how we style the “color block” trend. This is one of my favorite trends out there right now, because I love color!! Any chance I get to mix a million colors together…I’m going to take it! Be sure to check out how Lauryn styles her color block as well on her blog!!
How do you feel about the color block trend? Love it? Hate it? Tell me below!

The new series you have planned with Lauryn sounds like a great way for you to explore new trends! As far as color block- I haven't yet tried it, but am sure one day I will in some form or another!
That sounds like a fun series you have planned! I am looking forward to seeing what you two ladies have to share!
THis sounds like a fun new series to check out all kinds of different looks and trends. I'm not sure how I feel about the color block trend but it looks lovely on you!
Wow! Super cute outfits! I cannot wait to see more! I like the color block trend, personally.
I love that trench! I don't think I've ever tried the color block trend with separate items, but I do have a color blocked dress that I love to wear in the summer (white with a green block around the bottom). =)
love the trench with the skirt!

I LOVE the color block trend! I definitely rock it all the time. LOVE that trench coat, it's PERFECTION <3
I'm not a huge fan of the color block trend but I generally don't wear a lot of color. I lean more toward neutral colors.
What a great look. I'm totally digging those red tights. Too cute!
Very cute look! I love the purse and the trench. I don't know why, but I have really been into leopard lately.
The trench! I absolutely LOVE the trench coat. So cute!
I am in love with those brown boots she has on and now I am officially on a mission to find them, buy them, and wear them daily. LOL!
This whole look is great but THAT BAG!!!!!! <3
Ah that awesome skirt is not available in a Large. *heart broken*
I love this outfit! Your bag is adorable! I also love the color of your tights! Soo pretty!
I always love it when I come to your site – I enjoy your outfits and find it inspirational – thank you 🙂
Nice look.. the outfit really works well.. This site i have turned my wife onto so she can check it all out.
I love how you put this all together! My teenager would freak out if I left the house like that…but who asked her! LOL As I get closer to mid 40s I'm wanting to become more bold with my outfits and this is such a fun, sassy way to do that!
Another gorgeous outfit! I absolutely love that color skirt. It's beautiful and looks really great on you! The tights look amazing with the whole outfit too. Perfect colors!
I love that you put those colors together. I am not sure I would be that brave with the hose. I also love that you are teaching those of us fashion challenged how to do it and where to go to find you favorite things shown.BTW LOVE the Steve Madden bag
I really love that trench coat. I can't say that I've tried the color block trend yet, but who knows.
I have a couple of color block dresses-I have never tried it with separates either. It certainly looks good and I may well try it. I love that pocketbook!
I would LOVE a trench coat like yours! It's gorgeous and I think I'd look quite swish with it on the school run!
I love the style! It's very different with all those colors! The trench coat is beautiful!
I love this entire outfit, especially that skirt and those tights (leggings) I love colors too. 🙂
I love that coat!!! I have the same one before, but lost
it somewhere, ugh!
I love the color block trend.. well at least on others! I haven't tried it myself yet. 🙂 But we rarely leave our house.. I'm mostly in my PJs. 😛
Those are the in thing in Chicago downtown. All the office people where those types of trench coats. I wanted one so bad, and I got one and then my boss decides to tell me he's retiring. Augh!!! That's my kind of luck, but I still have a wonderful coat.
The new series sounds like a ton of fun. I'll be interested to see what you guys come up with!
Oh, I love your outfit! But it's not that cold here for me to able to use a trench.
Omg what a great outfit!! I'm a big jacket fan since I live in WNY so I just love itttt
I love the trench and the colored tights. I also like the color block trend. Nice pictures!
Oh I love the turquoise in the skirt! I really need to start adding more color to my wardrobe other than the neon in my workout clothes.
I'm really loving that big jacket a lot, it looks so nice with your whole outfit; you're so beautiful!
To be honest I never tried colour blocking because I'm so scared I will mess it up but it looks so great on you! Any tips for me? What's the best way to start?
You're look gorgeous and fabulous, I really love your skirt and your coat too.
I am in love with this trench too! It's perfect! You should try to color block! It's way too fun!
Thank you Angela!! xoxo
I would say just pick subtle colors at first, and then go bold! Try grey and blue at first and then try pink and green!
Thanks so much!!
I love adding color to my wardrobe! It's so fun to wear color!
Thanks Sam!
Thanks Courtney!! I love big jackets…even though were I live it's pretty warm haha
It's not too cold where I live either…but I still get to ear it from time to time!

I love the color block trend! I feel like all I wear to work these days is skirts and colorful tights. Thanks for sharing. I love your blog!
You look gorgeous! I'm loving your coat and colorful tights! Great outfit
This is a very nice outfit. The trench makes it look very professional and stylish at the same time.
What a lovely outfit and looks very good on you. I really love those shoes and coat.
I love colorblocking but I'm pretty particular about *which* colors I use!
I like colorblocking. I'm glad to hear it's back in style. 🙂
Love your trench and those tights! Super cute!
Nice! Steve Madden has some really trendy products! I love that handbag 😉
gorgeous colors! I love trench coats and pops of color! thanks for sharing 🙂
I'll try wearing it on maybe one of those cold days we're having when it's a bit rainy.
I don't mind color block on some people if they do it right. For me personally, I feel weird and uncomfortable. I just don't think it looks good on me.
I love this look on you. The color of the skirt looks amazing on you.
Your coat is gorgeous. I'm not a big fan of colour blocking. I will wear a single solid and pair that with neutrals but not two random ones together…so I don't think it counts lol. I just can't take the plunge :/
This outfit looks really cute on you. The coat I so love and it looks extremely cute on you. I don't know if I would wear the maroon tights with the green skirt but it does work for you. Thanks for sharing.
OMG I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE that Steve Madden bag. I need to look into seeing about this- I love the whole style setup.
You can really rock this outfit, i love it! the coat is really nice too.
I am not feeling the love for the blocking trend for me. I am 50 and although comfortable in my own skin, I like a few things to match. My 18 year old daughter, however, would be ALL.OVER.IT.
I see the shoes came from Payless — I really should stop by there more. They look great on you! And you can never have enough shoes, right?!?
I LOVE the colour block trend but it's so hard not to go over the top with colours! You really pull this outfit off nicely 🙂
I am loving those tights and the classic trench coat! Gorgeous 🙂
