Hey Queens!
If you know me, you know I love color—some even call me the Queen of Color! But after giving birth, I found myself gravitating toward darker shades, stepping away from the vibrant hues that once defined my style. Now, I’m slowly rediscovering my love for bold colors, and what better way to do that than through color-blocking? This styling technique is perfect for spring or for any of my girlies looking to ease back into wearing more color. Today, I’m breaking down how I styled one blue maxi skirt in multiple ways to show you just how versatile and fun color-blocking can be!

Why Blue is the Perfect Base Color
Girl, blue is such a versatile and universally flattering color that works across all seasons. But let’s talk about how stunning color looks on melanin-rich skin! Bold shades like cobalt, royal blue, and even soft pastels pop beautifully on deeper skin tones, making blue an ideal choice for my dark-skinned queens. Whether you’re easing back into color like me or just looking for new ways to refresh your wardrobe, blue serves as the perfect foundation to build a variety of outfits.
8 Ways I Styled My Blue Maxi Skirt
Inspired by my “1 Skirt, 8 Looks” video, here’s how I maximized my blue skirt with different color combinations and styling techniques:
1. Bold & Bright with an Orange Blazer
I love a colorful power move, and this orange blazer paired with my blue skirt is giving bold, confident, and spring-ready energy! Orange and blue are complementary colors, making this combo pop beautifully on deeper skin tones. To tie everything together, I went for a structured bag and heels in a similar color family.
2. Bold & Bright with Neon
As someone rediscovering her love for bright colors, pairing blue with neon felt like the perfect way to step back into vibrant hues. A neon blouse instantly lifted my mood and gave this outfit a fun, modern feel. I added statement sunglasses and a structured handbag to elevate the look even more. If you’re hesitant about bright colors, trust me girl, neon looks so good on deep skin tones!
3. Business Chic with Yellow
I’m obsessed with how blue and yellow complement each other! Throwing on a yellow blazer made this outfit pop while still keeping it polished enough for a business casual setting. If you’re looking to add some vibrancy to your office looks, yellow is your bestie, babe.
4. Classic & Neutral
For my girlies easing into color, pairing blue with a neutral top like beige or white is a great way to start. This keeps the look balanced and chic while still letting the skirt shine. If you’re new to color, neutrals are the perfect safety net!
5. Cozy & Warm with Red Accents
Since I’ve been experimenting more with color again, I’ve been loving rich shades like red. A red sweater gave this look a cozy yet elevated feel, and I paired it with a white bag to keep things fresh. For those early spring days when it’s still chilly, this is a must-try, babes.
6. Feminine Touch with Pink Blazer
Pink and blue together? Yes, please! This pink blazer gave the look a feminine yet powerful feel. I cinched the waist with a belt to add structure, making it one of my go-to springtime outfits! If you want to serve boss babe energy, this is the one.
7. Effortless Cool with a Vest
For an edgier take, I paired my blue skirt with a tailored vest. This look is clean, modern, and effortlessly chic, proving that color-blocking doesn’t have to be loud to make an impact.
8. Playful & Fun with a Pop of Pink
A pink top paired with a bold brown handbag from The Vault Label gave me all the flirty, spring-ready vibes I love! This outfit is effortlessly fun and perfect for brunch, shopping, or any casual outing. The brown handbag grounds the look, making it polished yet playful.

Whether you’re like me, stepping back into your love for vibrant hues, or you’re just starting to experiment with color-blocking, these outfit ideas will help you embrace bold, fun, and stylish looks this season.
