How to Color Block Your Outfits

With summer near, you’re probably searching for unique ways to add color to your outfits. Color-blocking is a sure way to brighten up your wardrobe.

Choose 2-3 colors that you think pair well together. If you don’t know where to start, look at a color wheel. Try choosing colors that are either close together on the wheel or directly across from one another. Some of my personal favorites include red and pink, pink and orange, orange and yellow, yellow (or orange) and green, green and blue, blue and purple, or purple and green. Check out these examples for inspiration.

If you feel overwhelmed by pairing a bunch of colors together, try pairing a bright color with a neutral color. For example, a pop of lime green with gray. Check out these examples.

Feeling completely lost and defeated? Find pieces that already do the work for you. Finding duotone clothing items isn’t the hardest task. Here’s what I’ve found.

Her love for sharing knowledge is how she found her way into Journalism. She prides herself in making sure that people have accurate information because it aids in obtaining the best outcomes.

These advanced studies reflect her dedication to fostering mental health and well-being in both educational and community settings.

Although she may seem quiet or shy upon first introduction, Taylor has a vibrancy that is undeniable once you're allowed a look within. She is observant and curious, and the passion behind her curiosities is what ensures her drive. As a mediator-type personality, Taylor is often trying to understand other people’s true feelings. She is creative and a risk-taker. She finds her own lane and when that one seems to look a bit over-saturated, she’ll begin setting the foundation down for a new one.

Authenticity is a cornerstone of Taylor’s character. She seeks opportunities for self-expression and remains true to herself in all endeavors. She values the differences among people while appreciating the commonalities they share. Open-minded yet loyal to her own values, Taylor navigates her world with integrity and insight.

Taylor’s efforts are aimed at sharing her situated knowledge and the extended insights of those she welcomes to her platform, providing valuable perspectives on various topics. As a future counselor, her traits of empathy, active listening, patience, and strong ethical values will undoubtedly enrich the lives of those she serves.
