Dress like a star: Tricolor

There are trends and styles that are fleeting like a light, and there are those that are meant to stay. Color blocking seems to belong to the latter, and you can find inspiration wherever you look: on the street, on the blogs, on people. I, for once, have always been intrigued by the classic French tricolor combo, but I've always feared that it would be difficult to pull off. When you're wearing red, blue and white together, you definitely don't want to look tacky or like you're draped in a flag. But with this Jessica Alba's outfit, I've found exactly what I was looking for: bright blue jeans and classic white tee is something that will always look chic. A cheerful coral blazer adds a pop of interest and brightens the whole outfit. Throw in a ladylike bag and some Aviators, and the styling is perfect. I would love to wear this outfit for an afternoon of shopping or to grab a coffee with a friend.
