30 for 30 Remix Summer Edition: Week 2

I don't think any closet remix challenge of mine will be complete without bright colors and of course, color blocking.  It is of course, summer! And what better way to celebrate bright, happy days than with vivid colors and bright  color blocking combinations. I have been wearing this trend since last year and I thought it will be passe now but surprisingly, it's still one of the fashion trends for Spring 2012.  Well, I myself don't really care whether it's still on trend or not because for me, it's one of the best remixing techniques ever---any mix of a number of bright, solid pieces can result in an infinite number of outfit combinations.  And color blocking can be worn not just for bright hues but also for pastels, neutrals, and monochromes. So for sure, I'm going to be color blocking until I run out of outfit combinations---which means, I will be color blocking until I'm old and gray. Let's just say I'm incorporating it in my signature style!

And for this week, I also want to share this peplum skirt which I bought for a song in The Landmark Department Store years ago, and I was happily surprised to find that this trend is also back this year.  And of course, the timelessness of this little black dress from Vestito is the reason why I cannot resist adding another black dress to my closet---especially if it has an unexpected shape, it's made of jersey (which means it doesn't wrinkle) AND what a bonus if jersey comes in such a forgiving, drapey shape as this one. So hooray to classics and "trends" that never really go out of style. Cheers! :)
