Brighten up any day by wearing color from head-to-toe.  This cheerful fashion trend is called color blocking.  With discount Plastic Jungle gift cards you can liven up your wardrobe and stay in trend without paying full price.

Not so sure how to color block?

When in doubt, consult the color wheel.  Colors that are next to each other look best when worn together.

Follow these simple guidelines and you’ll be on your way to walking out the door in your best color block outfits.

Yellowish-Orange, Orange, and Red look great together!

Wear a papaya blouse (available for 11% off of $29.95 from H&M with discount H&M gift cards) with a pair of yellow pants on bottom (available for 11% off of $24.95 from H&M with discount H&M gift cards) to work or for your next dinner out and you’ll master picking bold-colors that really pop when worn together.

Combine purple, pink, and red for a lovely look!

With a pair of red bottoms from JCPenny like these eastFifth Secretly Slender Cropped Pants (available for 20% off of $22 with discount JCPenney gift cards) and this boldly colored Worthington Oversized Shirred Top (available for 20% off of $16 with discount JCPenney gift cards), you can accent your outfit with a pink jacket or scarf and flaunt your color blocking skills.

Go with all blue-ish colors or all green-ish colors for a fresh feel!

Check out Macy’s BarIII Sleeveless Collar Polka Dot Printed Button Tie Blouse in aqua (available for 7% off of $49 with discount Macy’s gift cards) which can be beautifully worn with bold blue pants.  Also try Macy’s Brights Ruffled Dress in blue (available for 7% off of $104.30 with discount Macy’s gift cards) which is the perfect pair with a blue tote and blue shoes.

When color blocking, be thoughtful with the color and pattern of your accessories. 

When color blocking your clothing, if you can’t find the right combination of color for accessories (shoes, jewelry, jacket), go with something neutral in color.  Beige, gold, silver, black, and white are great ways to accent your color blocking outfits without overdoing it.  Just be sure to wear only one consistent color with our accessories.

When adding bold colored clothing and accessories to your wardrobe, be sure to pick up discount gift cards from Plastic Jungle first so you get the latest fashion styles for less.

There can really be a fine line in our wardrobe between what we have been wearing forever and what can be worn forever.

When looking for timeless pieces for your wardrobe, explore Gap stores and Gap online with discount Gap gift cards from Plastic Jungle.  You’ll save 8% on timeless clothing for men, women, children, and baby from Gap.

Jeans, tops, bottoms, casual, preppy, classy, Gap has a great selection of pieces that will last beyond just this year.  (Even if you’re a growing baby, your old Gap clothes will look great on your younger brother or sister, or anyone who receives your hand me downs.)  Take, for example, these new items from Gap’s spring line of clothes: women’s Mesh Sweater in yellow and white, men’s Slouchy Fit Jeans, and crisp green Cargo Shorts.  They burst with color today, and become timeless additions to your year-round looks.

How to use a few pieces of clothing for multiple outfits.

Be creative.  This Gap mesh sweater becomes a fun look for the fall when you throw on a purple, blue, or gray scarf.  Roll up the sleeves to mid-forearm to flash up the look with bracelets or a watch.  Take this sweater to the beach to use as a coverup on a cool night at the shore.  At 8% off with discount Gap gift cards, buying timeless clothing is affordable.

Don’t be afraid to combine colors.  My friend Kathy has a hard time wearing different shades of the same colors together or wearing some of the new “normal” color combinations like navy and black or blue and black.  Try to challenge your eye to think beyond what you have been wearing the past 5 years by taking pieces that you don’t normally wear together and laying them flat on your bed.  You might just surprise yourself with some hip, new combinations.

Accessories.  Accessories.  Accessories.  Adding a few new accessories to your wardrobe each year can really expand your closet.  You can gain a lot of variety to old looks just by adding a new pair of Gap boots, flats, or a handbag to your collection.  Be sure to pay with discount Gap gift cards to save yourself 8%.
