Spring is around the corner and nothing makes me happier than bright, fresh and cheerful colors! I am quite conservative with colors and stick with safe colors like black, white, navy blue, and brown. But now I’ve discovered color blocking (when a garment or outfit is composed of finite blocks of color) and excited to explore the range of rich, vibrant  hues that are the cornerstone of this daring trend. It’s one thing to appreciate the color blocking trend, but it’s a whole other thing to make it work on yourself. It is not the easiest trend to pull off successfully, so I wanted to share with you 3 simple steps to make you feel super confident about your choices.

1. Select A Style
There are three ways to style a color-blocked outfit — select one:

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
