Inspiration // Brightly Colored

Stockholm Street Style // Altamira NYC

I know the color blocking trend has been there for quite a while now, but as a true neutralist and B&Wist it's kinda hard for me to embrace the brightly-colored outfits almost all the time. Not that I said I'm struggling to accept it, I do accept the trend and quite enjoy it as well but it's kinda... how to say it.. oh well, let's just say that it wasn't something that I go crazy head over heels with. But as time flies, I've started to like it more and more. Lately I've been reading on a lot street style posts that are piling up on my google reader and found a lot of bold and daring color blocking that I wouldn't even sure how in the world that person can pull it off. But I got to say that it's amazing enough to awed me. So, as my love towards colors is growing bits by bits, here I found a few pictures that really inspired me. A bit of color & still a bit of neutral color, I think that is how I like. Not too extreme, not too plain at the same time.

Hanneli

And these two, it definitely is my favorite amongst all that I found on the internet. Pure genius. Neon Orange and Cobalt Blue. Orange isn't really my color but this is seriously.. AWE-SOME! I love how Hanneli worked out the Neon top with a white shorts (again, not too bold, not too plain) and though the second picture is an exception (for it combines two bright colors), I never really thought Cobalt Blue works out well with Neon Orange. There is only one word for this combination : "W-O-W". I can't get enough of it! I guess now I'd like to start filling my wardrobe with a lot of colored stuffs. I got enough greys and b&ws already.

firstly, you are freaking adorable. in general.
2, I started colour blocking last year after going to hong kong and realised there wasn't enough colour in the city, (not that i was going to take on the city one colour at a time, but i found it was kind of funny, for me at least... i am easily amused haha). And since, I've become more accustomed to picking things based on colour than items of clothing, it's weird how colour blocking doesn't clash as much as someone thinks it would. I use to think all colours clashed and had a wardrobe of black, dark grey, grey, light grey, white. But how wrong was I! Hehe I feel so much happier in colour too... okay I am just rambling now... xx
