I finally found a color combination that was perfect for color blocking; I must say I am feeling quiet good wearing this outfit today! If you follow me on twitter (@curveebeauty) then you know me, StyleChic360 and Gen321 all purchased the same knit pencil skirts during the Forever 21 yellow tag sale. Instead of taking the safe route, typical black skirt, I figured I needed to try something new.
There isn't much color in my closet so I hit the goodwill Saturday to find some nice tops specifically for color blocking. I hit the jackpot, three blouses, for $17! I can't wait to see how the other ladies style their skirts. I just realized my entire outfit is less than $50, minus my hair, lol.
I want to give a special thanks to all the ladies over at ChocolateBrides.com I read all of your nice compliments. I joined the forum but I am not about to respond to posts for some reason.
Silk Blouse - Goodwill (tag removed)
Skirt - Forever 21+

Chocolate Brides and I love this blog! We use you for style inspiration. In fact, this morning, I was going to rock your black patterned skirt, belt, yellow cardi look. But decided to hold it for another day. :) I'm gonna add color blocking to my repertoire very soon.
Cute look my dear! Love the skirt :)
I am loving the color clocking here! I am super sad I missed that deal :( I'll have to catch them another time I guess. Great post!

Hush Jadie, lol. I forgot to smile this morning.
Thanks friend! I know you are gonna rock it.
I finally took the plunge and I love it! I need to take more risks. You should try thrifting, it's the best way to build your wardrobe and not spend alot of money.
YES for color blocking!! I love red and pink together! Wow, that skirt came from F21?? I never would have thought. You look FAB!!
Thank you Eboni, Goodwill and Red, White and Blue and my favorite thrift stores.
Great job color blocking. I love your nude pumps as well. I have yet to try pink and red, but its definitely on my list.
Nice look! Liking the colro combo!
Roni
Very well put together! I need more colors in my wardrobe as too!
Very "Valentine's Day" type of color combo and I love it!! Did you skip major accessories for your final look?
Perfect combination! That top was a SCORE, love the color. And your hair looks great!
how come your not smiling, you always told me to show teeth...smile =D
OK, VBFF!!!
You did this! I love the color combo!!! It is so pretty! You look fabulous! I can't wait to wear my skirt!
I've really got to hit up a thrift store. I'm seeing everyone finding all these nice things! The only thing I ever bougth from the thrift store was some cute vintage luggage but that was years ago. I'm SO behind the curve. Also, I've always been afraid to wear pink and red together but I like this! I'm going to try to be more adventurous!
Yaaaay! I love this combination. It's a combo that has been on my list to try and of course you look gorgeous!
I haven't been to Goodwill in months. I think it's time for me to take a trip!
