At some point during the week, we encounter a feeling that's all too familiar: panic, caused by the inability to decide what to wear. It doesn't matter if our closet is packed with dresses, pants, skirts, shirts, or whatever else we've accumulated over the years. Putting those pieces together to create a cute outfit is what often ends up leaving us stumped.
But one styling solution that rarely fails us, making our fashion dilemma disappear within a matter of minutes? Color blocking.
