Chic Colour Blocking 


A Chic Minimalist is enjoying a cafe latte in her favourite cafe once again over this holiday weekend.

A strong but classic combination of baby blue and lilac is on trend this season as A Chic Minimalist always adjusts trends to suit her personal style.  Instead of using bright bold colours to achieve the colour blocking look that is very popular this season, perhaps try playing with contrasting muted pastel tones for a more classic approach.  Finish the ensemble with classic and elegant jewelery in a tone that compliments the light contrasting colour palette and ties all the pieces together.  Personally, a chic prefence is always a pair of coloured pearls and earings from the collection inherited from my grandmother.  May I suggest mixing light pink with cream and mauve for a fresh take on this key look for the Sring-Summer 2011 season.  

Fashion is after all about playing and breaking rules!
