Hi everyone!
I am your new fashion blogger, Xiaojing – people call me XJ for short. I am from China, a junior chemistry and biology double major, and I like mixing and matching clothes, vintage style or sometimes wearing crazy stuff. I think my outfit everyday is a good way to show my personality, my attitude of the day or….I wake up too late and run out of time to put on nice clothes!
So with this, my first StO-Style blog, I want to talk to you about the trend of colorblocks! Also, I want to welcome you back from spring break! Speaking of spring break, do you miss that blue ocean and orange sunshine? Do you miss those colorful daisy dukes and bikinis? Well, why not put on the new black: Bright color mix-match?! Be creative, everyone can be good at this mix and match game!
For some tips, check out Susie Bubble, one of the most popular British blogger and fashion professions (she is my favorite!) and an artist of mixing and matching bright colors. Here are 3 great articles of hers, hope you get inspired!
