Color-Blocked.

 

During the recent finale of Basketball Wives, Shaunie O'Neal wowed audience members in a custom  knee length color-blocked number by Atlanta based designer Nicci Hou. While Ms. Shaunie has the means for an amazing stylist (Mr. Bradshaw) and a fab designer to assist with creating color-blocked dreams, most of us budget fashionistas  have to stick to the racks to achieve this greatness. 

But have no fear because these Motel pieces may be the answer to our color-blocking prayers....

Motel  "Ozlem Dress" - $70.00 

The color palette on this number features the same Pinks, Blues, & Oranges seen in Shaunie's dress however these colors are more muted versus the brightly colored custom dress. One great thing about a more muted color-blocking scheme is that you are able to dress it up and down differently, wear it during anytime of the year, all the while allowing yourself to be bold without worrying about flaunting too much color.

This sleeveless dress can be worn alone during these last days of summer with nude open-toed pumps or wedges but can also be transformed for fall by adding a simple blazer, opaque tights, & a colored pump or wedge.

Not feeling the dress? Well perhaps this other Motel piece can answer your prayers...

Motel "Kylie Skirt" - $50.00

Pairing this skirt with a neutral black top will allow you to have the boldness of the color-blocking on bottom without going too crazy on top. Try this skirt with a  sheer black blouse, black tank or even a fitting long-sleeved mesh top.

Follow the color-blocked road & look fab with these two Motel pieces & more at Karmaloop.com

Happy Blocking Stylenista's.
