RM Style Finds: Color Blocking – Blast from the Past

You know what they say…what goes around comes around! Right now there’s a revival taking place of the 70′s “color blocking” trend.  So, for all of you gals who love shopping for vintage clothes you may just find one of these bold and dramatic pieces at your local thrift shop or in your mother’s closet.

Milly: Nessa Combo Dress – $330

I love this little Milly dress. It completely captures the retro-sophisticated style of color blocking. Sport it with a pair of black or neutral pumps. Don’t forget to do-up the gold faced belt with a simple gold bracelet!

Ann Taylor: Colorblock Shell – $78

What a great Ann Taylor top! This loose tank can be thrown on with a pair of jeans and a cardigan for a comfortable-chic look. Or, tuck it into your favorite pencil skirt!

BCBGMaxazaria: Pleated Colorblock Stripe Skirt – $178

A casual, yet sophisticated piece, this BCBG free-flowing skirt will be a great day to day pick. The color combination leaves you with countless options for mixing and matching tops and accessories…allowing you a few more wears!

Kate Spade: Mansfield Lottie – $425

If you know color blocking, you know Kate Spade. Known for her vibrant colors and neat color-print combinations, check out Kate Spade’s collection (handbags and clothing!) for some more color blocking pieces. This shoulder bag is definitely a more neutral-toned color block piece, but its contemporary character will definitely spice up an ordinary outfit!
