The Budget Fashionista originally wrote about the color block bags trend back in 2014 \u2014 and the style had already been hanging around for a few years at that point. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fast forward to 2019, and we are loving our bold patterns and colors this winter. And that means the color block accessory still fits right in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even better, color blocking has grown up beyond the blue-yellow-black styles of yesteryear. Now, we&#8217;re teaming pinks and reds and even soft neutrals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So if you need a fresh statement for your closet, a color block bag is a fabulous option. They&#8217;re easy and affordable, and oh-so-versatile.
