LFLTAT: Color Blocking

A lot of fashion magazine editors swear by the adage: "Splurge on classics. Save on trends." Wise words, that's for sure. But why not "Save on classics" as well?

Color Blocking - or the mixing of clashing colors in one outfit - is supposedly a trend. But since it keeps on reappearing every year, I'd say it's on the verge of being a staple in fashion. And if you know where to look, you can build a nifty, color blocked outfit for less than a thousand.

And here's the Look For Less Than A Thousand. (Aka LFLTAT)



This ensemble plays with 3 colors: 2 saturated hues, and 1 neutral tone. And together, this color combination works nicely.



The top is made up of two jewel tones - emerald green and amethyst. This top is from The Landmark, and is ridiculously cheap!



The skirt is made of nude tulle, and has the right amount of fullness without resorting to fluff. It comes with a belt which echoes the tone of the skirt itself. And the best part is, its just P229.00!



And finally, we have a beige version of the ballet flats, also from The Landmark. The black version of these was in a previous LFLTAT.



This all-Landmark ensemble rings up to P949.25. Not bad for an outfit that you can wear for years. Indeed, The Landmark is a trove for those who believe in the fashion-for-less mantra.

So, who says you can't save on classics?
