Ombre's turn...

Ombre's turn...

We have seen quite a bit of colorblock over the last couple of months, so I thought it was only fair to give ombre, colorblock's sister, some attention.  Ombre:  the gradation of hue from light to dark.  Because ombre is usually a more subtle color change than colorblock, it may be easier to wear for those wanting to experiment with more than one bright solid color at a time.  Think of it as a version of a print.
