Retro Colorblock Accessories

| 6 Comments

I was never the type to flip off of a diving board.  I edged in by the steps … and held on to the rail.  And generally speaking, I am the same with fashion.  I like to incorporate statement looks piecemeal.  Thus my penchant for accessories.  And the colorblocking trend of late is no exception.  In 1992, I wore two pairs of scrunchie socks in alternating colors – hawt colorblocking.  In 2011, older, wiser, and thankfully, far more fashionable, I test the waters with accessories (and have sworn off ALL fashion items that contain the letter sequence “ch” … i.e., ponchos, scrunchies, gaucho pants, etc.).

Easy items like costume jewelry, handbags, and shoes are interchangeable and are the perfect nod to the latest trends.  For example, nudes and blushes washing you out – try on a pair of nude pumps; on trend.  Dream of weaving strands of feathers through your hair a la your idol, Ke$ha, but work a 9 to 5 with a beige dress code – the feather earring.  Man, I love accessories.

About The Author:

Hi, I’m Lexi. Sometimes lawyer, full-time blogger, mama and wife. I pride myself on being tacky and pray the paragraphs I scribble on the back of napkins will morph into a bestselling novel (or series … I wouldn’t complain.) I have a Type-A personality in overdrive, wear too much black, love all things over-the-top, books and glitter make me weak in the knees, and I can't stop buying impractical shoes. This blog has become my dream job. I now style shoots, create content for brands, and offer consulting for businesses and bloggers looking to utilize a blog and/or social media to grow their brand or online presence. I’m SO glad you’re here!
