Block Party
By Martin Waitt, May 23rd, 2012
Fuchsia, mint, emerald and orange – electric block color is so bright now! It seems that the color block trend is not going away any time soon. We at CITYist couldn’t be happier! We love color and with the warm weather finally here we can ditch the black and gray wardrobe and incorporate some much needed color. This trend is flattering on just about every body type so don’t be shy and add a little color to your look. If a full color block look is not your style then add in an accessory or two, you really can’t go wrong with color.
