Bloggers Do It Better: Colorblocking Challenge!
When I read about the Bloggers Do it Better Challenge on Kristina's PSS blog last week, I was immediately in! I thought it would be a fun way to try out new trends and that it would give me extra motivation to take outfit pictures. This week's challenge was colorblocking or bold stripes, and when I remembered about it yesterday, I had no clue what to wear! I almost thought about bowing out and waiting for the next assignment, but then I decided to push through because that's the whole point of a challenge!
earrings- gift, shirt and skirt- forever 21, wedges- Old Navy |
First, I found the brightest solid-color bottom I own- this skirt. Then I searched through my shirts to find something that I could wear with the skirt. I didn't want to go for green because I thought then I would look too Christmasy, so then I pulled out this bright turquoise tee. And that's where I stalled for a while. In my head I thought, "Do these colors really work together?" Then I said, 'Screw it! I'm going to wear them anyway!" I set up my tripod, put on some bumping music, and had so much fun taking these pictures! I was just bouncing around and trying all sorts of poses and here are the results =)
Tell me: Are any of you participating in Bloggers Do it Better? Have you guys tried the colorblocking trend?

I just found you via Kristina's blog. I participated in bloggers do it better too. I love these colours together, you did a great job.
you did a perfect combination!i like turqoise and fuchsia...they really stand out! Oh! and I love the colorblocking on your nails.
Ahhh, you look gorgeous! And I love your poses, and your colorblocking skills, and your multi-colored nails. Too cute! Lovely job with the colorblocking; I'm not taking part in the event but I did just buy some bits of color so hopefully I'll be rocking the trend soon! I actually went shopping last week with the intention of not buying a single thing in black. I bought two black tops, but I got a lot of other colorful things so I guess that's still good! I need to diversify my wardrobe a bit, haha.
ooh you did a great job with the color blocking you kinda look like a ballerina very cute.
Bloggers do it better indeed!!! I love the way you interpreted colorblocking! You look gorgeous!!!! I haven't tried this trend yet and I don't think I will because I am more the florals and pastels type... But who knows :)

Looks great. I like the movement in picture one.
WOW! You seem so graceful! Andyou're beautifuL!! I stink at posing.. I have one pose..and that's it...Hand on the hip looking to the left! lol
isn't funny how color blocking is all about not matching? or something like that. but the bright bold colors look great together. laughing at your Christmas comment, cuz yeah, sometimes i think i can't mix red and green (or olive!). but you look great. and your nails look cool too!
