Are you a rebel? Are you a fighter?
If you answered the above question and the answer is yes, you have to start showing it. They say that the 1st step to being is believing. In this case, believing in yourself and not being afraid to express the real you. And what if the colors are bright, what if they stand out of the crowd? If you have the right attitude no one is going to point fingers at you, maybe only to say: Wow, look at that outfit!

Did you get the taste of it? The savour of these strong colors, that will make you look like a delicious ice-cream. They scream happiness and joy and just make you feel better in the morning.
If you are not sure how to combine the colors here is some piece of advice. Think of the primary colors — blue, red, and yellow – as three points of the clock face stationed at 12, 4 and 8. Halfway between red and yellow will be orange, halfway between yellow and blue will be green, and halfway between blue and red will be purple. From there, you can fill in all the shades of the rainbow.
Next you have to decide if your color-block selection is going to be made of complementary colors (shades from opposite sides of the wheel), monochromatic colors (the same color in different shades), neutral colors (white, black, grays, browns) or analogous colors (shades that neighbor each other in the color wheel. If you feel a little bit more confident you can add up some neon colors as well -just imagine how that hot pink would look on you!
The possibilities are endless as well as the patterns you can have going while wearing colorful clothes. Did I just make it more complicated? Let me show you some great examples of style that will make you understand better.

Accessories, particularly a big belt, chunky jewelry and eye-catching shoes are an ideal way to take color blocking to another level. Bright, patterned prints, like scarves and belts, can also spruce up a color-block ensemble, provided you let the colors in the print dictate which colors you put together.
