January 2012 Lookbook: How to Wear Colorblocking
This look is part of Omiru’s January 2012 Lookbook series, which builds upon our 16-Piece January 2012 Capsule Wardrobe. See more information about this look.
Colorblocking is nothing new, but it’s still a fun way to perk up your winter wardrobe. How to keep colorblocking looking fresh? Make a statement by pairing blocks of bright color with winter neutrals - whites, greys, and blacks. We deliberately echoed the colorblocking on the dress with the tote bag to create a cohesive look.
1. Start with the colorblocked dress, paired with a slim legging to keep your legs warm.
2. Pile on the layers. First add a cozy hoodie to winterize the look - and then bundle up in your winter coat. Notice how the striping on the winter coat echoes the colorblocking on the dress.
3. Finish off the look with a pair of chunky black boots (solid, yet fashion forward) - and a colorblocked tote that pulls the look together.
