Blending Brights

Zara Blouse and Skirt, Coach Bag, Dannijo Bracelet, Gifted Elizabeth and James Booties

I love neutral palettes and often find myself gravitating towards pretty peaches, understated nudes and creamy whites. Every once in a while though, I’m drawn to bold colors that make even more of an impact when paired together. I bought this top and skirt this week at Zara and though I had envisioned them separately (the top with high waisted jeans and the skirt with a loose white blouse), the combination of kelly green and bright pink was too fun to pass up.

    Oooo I love this combo. Looking good!
    You look great in a bright color combo like this, although you are the one who inspired me to buy and wear neutrals and I love that look too!

    I love it! I was so so inspired that I went out and bought the same skirt in green today (plus a pair of pink pants that I couldn’t resist). I plan to wear the skirt with patent purple heels.

    Agreed-wouldn’t originally think to put the two together but too fun to pass up. Love this look, especially with the dark tights and suede heels. Fabulous.

    Emily, when I saw this outfit I was in LOVE! The color pairing is so unexpected, but so fresh at the same time. I know it was posted a few weeks ago, but whenever I see it or whenever you refer back to it like you did in “Tempered Brights” I get excited! I want this outfit!!
