This is a Short Story

Dress - Zara, Accessories - Primark, Wedges - Humanic

I wore an unusually bright outfit with pops of yellow and blue yesterday. It's always good to experiment, but I have to admit I'm not feelin the whole color blocking trend.  It looks wonderful on others, but I'm not sure if I could pull it off. What's your take on the whole color madness going on right now? Yay or nay?

P.S: I've never realized this dress was so short... I guess it will be worn exclusively  as a T or as a beachdress from now on :)

    it is definitely short, but it has the authentic late 60's vibe - it is ment to be that short :)

    Actually, I'm pretty sure you pulled it off doll. And I do this ALL the time with dresses. Unfortunately. Like the one that I wore yesterday. As a shirt because it shrunk in the wash.

    I love dresses like that! So easy to wear and fresh! Wasn't too much into the whole color blocking thing but once I started, I can't go back, pretty sure you'd rock it!

    I tend to color block unintentionally -- and I think that is best! When it happens organically.

    I just love the combo and especially the shoes, where did you get them from? And length is a relative concept!

    i think because you are pale and blonde would be better on you like electric blue, purple, fucshia, melon, orange/fucshia and alike.

    I really love the color blocking trend! love ur shoes by the way :)

    I absolutely adore this dress on you, it suits you so well! I'm having some serious dress envy here... as for colourblocking, I'm eager to try it but feel a bit unsure as to where to begin - it can't be that hard though haha.
