It’s officially spring, ladies, and the trends keep on coming. Colorblocking is making a resurgence, and there are no complaints here! Pairing contrasting, yet complimentary bright and bold colors is a fun way to get the bees buzzing and flowers blooming.
Rocking a colorblocked dress adds instant fun to your day. How could it not? Take a sun dress, sheath, maxi, or shift dress to the next level. Want a more casual look? Try a dress with minimal colorblocking or more neutral colors and pair it with a colorblocked flat or sandal. If bold is your middle name, then the vibrant colors are definitely for you.
