The Art of Color-Blocking 101: Lesson 3

I have searched everywhere to find the perfect color-block dress or tunic for the summer and I just haven't found one in my budget and size that I like.

So, I created to look myself. I love deep, saturated colors so I chose hot pink and purple.

Tip #1: Find solid colors separately that compliment your skin complexion. Matching the undertones in your complexion to your clothing gives you a more youthful look. You can also just hold the color close to your skin.

I found this belt at a thrift store for a $1 and couldn't pass on it, even though it wasn't my size. I simply added elastic banding to the back to make it my size.

BTW: I will put a link here for the post on the DIY Belt Extension.

I found the dress and heels on Poshmark, of course. The dress was $15 and the heels were $10. So, my entire outfit cost me $26.00 + shipping costs for the shoes and dress.

This look is warm and Spring appropriate, not to mention comfortable and versatile. It can easily be worn with heels, flats and sandals. I suggest if you have a neckline that is embellished, wear earrings instead of a necklace.
