To continue with the color blocking trend from 2011; try mixing Purple with Orange and Magenta. Combine Pastel Green with Lilac and Aqua for a subtle alternative, or combine Pastel Green with Lilac and Brown for a more classical variation.Yellow is best complimented with Blue. For a safer bet, add a natural neutral like Beige to the mix.

So update your wardrobe and stay current in the game with these trendy colors for Spring 2012. Live life through your style.

Most of these are nice. Some designers I just want to ask "What drug were you on?" Not to you of course, the designers. I really like some of these though, they seem classy. Personally, I never focused too much on this stuff because of my build I have to try on clothing that suits me. I wish they would use models that had several different types of bodies, then I might buy some of their clothing. I guess that would be too challenging for them. Oh well, nice blog.

Hi Jewelz, I totally agree with you about body types. I design clothes as well so I do understand the mechanics about designing for a size 2. However your idea about models with different body type is great! I'm a "fashion freak" and like you I try on to see what looks best on me. Furthermore trends are not the most ideal things to follow, I always recommend buying a few pieces and working them in your current wardrobe, especially color. Anyhow thanks for reading and the compliment and I hope I somewhat inspired your inner fashionista!
