Curves Around the World: Color Blocking


Hey Everyone! It's that time again for another "Curve's Around the World" theme and this weeks theme is Color Blocking! I really like this trend because I love color and I like mixing different colors together. So I was excited for this weeks challenge because if you haven't noticed for the past few challenges I've been wearing a lot of black and white. Don't get me wrong I love wearing black and white but since it's summer I think that this is a great to wear color too. 
So when I was picking out my outfit for this weeks theme, I had another outfit in mind that I wanted to wear. But this past weekend California had this heat wave going on and man do I hate when the weather is like in the 100's! So when I went to wear the outfit I originally wanted to wear, I felt like I would be so uncomfortable and hot in it. (I originally wanted to wear colored skinny jeans) So since I wanted something more comfortable I pulled out this blue hi-lo skirt that I've worn before on the blog. But I really like this skirt because it's really airy and comfortable to wear. 
So when I chose the skirt I wanted to pair it with something that was lighter so I went with this mint colored top and my light yellow sweater. So the fact that my top was a spaghetti strap I wasn't comfortable wearing it alone, so I wore the sweater. I know I was doing so well with wearing sleeveless but I guess this day the insecurities won over. But I guess you always have good days and bad day, but hey at least the yellow looks cute with the rest of the outfit! :)

Since the challenge was to color block I wanted to keep my accessories neutral, that's why I chose to wear a neutral bag and sandals. By the way this is my first time I took pictures with the bag that I wore that day. I usually forget my bag or I don't really show it in my pictures, so I decided I would try out holding my bag in the pictures. What do you guys think? Is it better with or without the bag in the pictures?

  4. Royal blue is the colour, yey!!! you should stop having insecurities with your arm because they are ok, but I guess taking baby steps to get there helps ... really loved the mix of royal blue and mint jazzed up with that neutral colour - perfect!!! You should carry your bag with outfit, it does make a difference. your neck piece is to die for - I see myself rockin it if I were to get it ofcoz. Fab fab fab colour blockin post, simple but chic

  6. Love the blue, green, and yellow together. I personally like layering because I like to cover my arms too, but I also don't like my bra straps to show if I'm wearing a spaghetti strap top.

    The neutral accessories are perfect with the look!

    I like that you show the purse - it gives the reader a view of the complete look! :-)
