By definition color blocking:: wearing bright blocks of seemingly disparate colors that actually compliment each other. Color blocking is such a foreign language to me but definitely a trend of bold statement that I am slowly embracing. It's easier for me to pull off analogous color schemes in outfits since the use of colors are more pleasing to the eye and more harmonious. Maybe one day I'll be brave to work around with complementary colors and build an outfit of around it. Are you a fan of color blocking?

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you have a beautiful weekend!

    Cute outfit Yvonne! I'm very bad at playing around with colors for my clothes, I don't know which goes good together. But you put this outfit together nicely. I love the pop of color!

    Gosh Yvonne, I felt like I hadn't catched up with you in ages ever since I blog less. You look dainty in these bold colors and I love it! Pink and red are such unusal combo but you make them work, I especially like the skirt.

Home is the one place in all this world where hearts are sure of each other. It is the place of confidence. It is the place where we tear off that mask of guarded and suspicious coldness which the world forces us to wear in self-defense, and where we pour out the unreserved communications of full and confiding hearts. It is the spot where expressions of tenderness gush out without any sensation of awkwardness and without any dread of ridicule. ~Frederick W. Robertson Our home is not big nor fancy but just cozy enough for our lil family. So grateful that we did not get affected by hurricane Sandy and prayers to anyone north of us that was affected. Happy Wednesday and Happy Halloween! Taking Kaylee trick or treating tonight!
