TARA 101: COLORBLOCKING HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE “IT” FACTOR, WHEN IT COMES TO FASHION BECAUSE YOUR BRINGING COLORS TOGETHER TO APPEAL TO THE COMPLEXITY OF FASHION STYLING. ITS SUCH A BOLD FASHION STATEMENT THAT IS VERY INTIMIDATING IN THE WAYS IT CAN BE DESIGNED AND THE MANY WAYS YOU DRESS IT HAS TO REALLY EXPRESS DIVERSE INDIVIDUALITY AND STILL FEEL RELATABLE TO THE PERSON LOOKING AT IT. RELATABLE MEANING THE VIEWER HAS TO BE ABLE TO FIND AND SEE YOUR HARMONY THE STORY YOUR TELLING TO MAKE SENSE TO THEM JUST AS IT MAKES SENSE TO YOU. AND THAT CAN BE A DIFFICULT THING TO ACHIEVE WITH COLOR-BLOCKING. BUT DON’T WORRY THE WORST POSSIBLE THING YOU CAN DO WITH COLOR-BLOCKING IS OVER-THINKING IT. REMEMBER WHAT I SAID IN PREVIOUS POST FASHION IS SUPPOSED TO BE FUN. THERE IS NO FASHION WITHOUT FUN AND EXCITEMENT. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LET’S GET EXCITED AS WE DISCUSS WHAT SOLANGE IS WEARING ON THE TOPIC.

SOLANGE PAIRED HER NATURAL WAVY HAIR, WITH A BLACK, RED, DARK BLUE, AND PASTEL-BLUE COLOR-BLOCK COAT WITH MATCHING RED, GREEN, AND BLUE, COLOR-BLOCK PATENT SANDAL HEELS. SHE ACCESSORIZED HER LOOK, WITH BLACK CLUTCH, WITH A BLUE LOGO, AND NATURAL LOOKING MAKEUP.

TARA 101: WHAT I LOVE ABOUT THE COLOR-BLOCK COAT IS HOW WELL THE COLORS WERE DESIGNED TO FIND THERE WAY. THERE ROLES, WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR GAZING EYES, AND PERSPECTIVE, WHEN LOOKING AT THIS OUTFIT. I LIKE HOW EACH COLOR PLAYS A ROLE WITH CERTAIN PARTS OF THE JACKET. THE BLACK BEING THE SLEEVE ,THE RED BEING THE CUTOUT PART OF THE BREAST OF THE TRENCH COAT, THE DARK BLUE BEING THE MAIN BACKGROUND COLOR, TO ALL OF THE COLOR BLOCKED SEGMENTS. AND THE LIGHT BLUE SERVING AS THE RIGHT SLEEVE, AND THE LOWER BUTTONING PORTION OF THE COAT. I LOVE HOW SHE USED ONE OF THE COLORS FROM THE COAT TO PAIR HER COLOR-BLOCKING SHOES. THE PATENT RED, DRAWS YOUR ATTENTION AND SORT OF OPENS INSIGHT THAT SHE THREW IN MORE COLOR-BLOCKING SCHEMES, NOT PARTICULARLY FOUND IN THE COAT, SUCH AS THE BLUE AND GREEN, OF THE OVER-LAPPED PORTION UNDER THE PROMINENT RED. I LOVE THAT SHE OPTED FOR NEUTRAL NATURAL LOOKING MAKEUP, NO ACCESSORIES. BUT A BLACK CLUTCH WITH A BLUE LOGO, TO BRING OUT THE HUES OF BLUE, IN BOTH THE COAT, AND THE SHOES. I HOPE YOUR FOLLOWING ME ON THIS, I KNOW I’M TALKING ALOT. AND IT SOUNDS MORE OF A SCIENTIFIC OBSERVATION LOL BUT THIS IS HOW I BREAKDOWN AN OUTFIT OR JUST FASHION IN GENERAL, THANKS FOR UNDERSTANDING FASHIONISTAS. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE THIS LOOK TO ITS ENTIRETY, ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES, TO THIS SOLANGE INSPIRED OUTFIT. SO HERE WE GO!

I PAIRED ETSY BLUE CHANDELIER TASSEL EARRINGS, WITH ROSE-RED LIPSTICK, PAIRED WITH A FENDI BLACK, DARK BROWN, LIGHT BROWN, AND BEIGE COLOR-[BLOCK LEATHER COAT, THAT WILL BE WORN CLOSED AS A DRESS. I PAIRED THE OUTFIT, WITH BLACK SHEER TIGHTS, AND CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN MULTI-COLORED PLATFORM ANKLE-STRAP SANDALS, AND A A GABRIELLA HEARST, COLOR-BLOCK FOLDED HANDLE BAG.

FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY, I PAIRED ROSE-RED ACRYLIC NAILS,WITH ROYAL-BLUE AND GOLD GLITTER STRETCH BRACELET. THAT WILL BE PAIRED WITH AN ETSY, TEAL-BLUE STONE BEADED BRACELETS ON ONE HAND. ON THE OTHER HAND, I PAIRED ROYAL-BLUE MARBLE STONE BEAD BRACELETS.

TARA 101: I FIND THAT WHEN I WAS STYLING THIS OUTFIT I KEPT WANTING TO PAIR MULTI-COLORED PIECES LIKE THE SHOES, WITH THE COLOR-BLOCK PIECES SUCH AS THE COAT AND THE HANDBAG. I FEEL IF YOU WANT ANOTHER OPTION TO PAIR WITH A COLOR-BLOCK PIECE CHOOSE COLORS FROM THE MULTI-COLOR SHOE OR ACCESSORY AND PLAY AROUND WITH IT. IT TRULY DOES GO HAND AND HAND. AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I LEARNED STYLING THIS OUTFIT. THOUGHTS FASHIONISTAS? TELL ME WHAT YOU THINK? ILL SEE YOU ON THE NEXT POST!
