Here are a few pics from Resort 2013 featuring color blocking, usually paired with a print (Altuzarra, Balenciaga, Celine, Chloe, Derek Lam, and Issey Miyake). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670452 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 23:42:01 +0000 Janet 670452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that sweater should have some longevity even if the color block trend wanes -- it's a classic color combo. I didn't see it at NAS but it does look appealing in the picture.</p> <p>However, I am now completely distracted because I LOVE those green paisley jeans. The ones Anna posted are amazing, and I would love to see you guys try them, but they are a bit much for my lower half. I like the more low-key print for myself. They are now in my shopping cart. Can I justify another pair of jeans? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670397 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 21:59:33 +0000 DeniseP 670397@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like some types of it : specifically, depends on the colors, and then, only two colors, no more. Really like your sweater and hope you will wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670316 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 20:34:06 +0000 Sylvie 670316@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sweater twins! I bought it too and thought the fit was ok on me. Angie, maybe after NAS is over, I'll post a better photo to get your opinion.</p> <p><a href="http://youlookfab.com/upload/images/e1b1c138da5c7b81fac39d4aa913e873157_image.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/upload/i....._image.jpg</a></p> <p>Blue/black is a pretty classic combination and I wouldn't expect this sort of sweater to last more than 2 years anyway. I think you should keep it and wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670190 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:53:32 +0000 jayne 670190@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am personnally going to keep it alive...I love color and color blocking...the colors to make outfits finally arrived in stores this year...I won't let it die...stamping foot! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670169 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:33:11 +0000 Mo 670169@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm a nay on separate color blocked pieces (too late 80's for me still) but a yay on a color blocked outfit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670162 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:26:53 +0000 CocoLion 670162@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna the red skinnies are ultra-fab!!!</p> <p>(Thinking how I can fund them as I promised to not shop until August.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670158 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:24:35 +0000 CocoLion 670158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, I purchased it so quickly, I barely tried it on. I was very attracted to the clean soft cotton knit aspect of it. I thought it was a good throw-it-on-with-black or blue skinnies and you're out the door kind of piece. Not much planning required. I will have to post a k/r on it, I am awaiting my other 2 NAS purchases. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670153 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:23:21 +0000 annagybe 670153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like those, but I think the color could be a bit richer, more opulent.

Colour blocking is still relevant. Of course it is :)</p> <p>As for that NAS sweater, I did not like the fit on any of my clients. Did you love the fit, Denise? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670144 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:16:57 +0000 annagybe 670144@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/CELINE/RUNWAY/011m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....Y/011m.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/CELINE/RUNWAY/014m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....Y/014m.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/MARNI/RUNWAY/00020m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....00020m.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/MARNI/RUNWAY/00130m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....00130m.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/BCBG/RUNWAY/00070m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....00070m.jpg</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.style.com/slideshows/2012/fashionshows/F2012RTW/BCBG/RUNWAY/00110m.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.style.com/slideshow.....00110m.jpg</a></p> <p>But I really had to dig for these examples. Definitely not a dominate trend. I did try on a yellow, grey and black color blocked Joie sweater at the NAS. Yellow, or at least that particular shade of yellow looks horrid on me.<br /> I think I'm interested in the Baroque themed trend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670141 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:11:25 +0000 MsMary 670141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered the colorblocked pencil skirt, too.</p> <p>I love that sweater and think it is very "you." But I do agree that if it's important to you to be ahead of the fashion pack, colorblocking probably isn't going to put you way out front. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670139 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:08:34 +0000 CocoLion 670139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's what I thought Anna, that this trend is peaking. I do like it (love actually) when it's done in the scuba/tuxedo variation, in other words slimmer vertical colorblocking. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670136 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 18:05:16 +0000 annagybe 670136@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just re-looked through my giant special edition of Vogue Paris that shows highlights from most of the major Fall/Winter 2012 shows. The only ones that showed color blocking were Celine, Marni, and BCBG Max Azria. But they weren't like that sweater. They were more small blocks or stripes of color. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670128 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:56:32 +0000 Anonymous 670128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just ordered a colorblocked pencil skirt.

I'm not overly crazy about it, but I don't hate it either. I take it on a garment by garment basis.</p> <p>But you should keep your sweater; I think you'll be good for quite a while with it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670125 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:51:55 +0000 Claudia 670125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay, Nordstrom had that color blocked skirt in the pre-season Fall 2012 catalog -- don't think it is out at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670123 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:51:12 +0000 Sunita 670123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I love those colors, and am enjoying colorblocking...just bought a color-blocked skirt at the NAS, and a dress online!</p> <p>But I'm also OK with being out-of-step with whatever is trendy... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670120 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:50:44 +0000 Amy 670120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still like it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone----trend-questions-aw-2012-colorblocking#post-670119 Mon, 16 Jul 2012 17:49:57 +0000 Anonymous 670119@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay.
