Brights

Monday, April 09, 2012

I envisioned finishing this outfit with brightly colored closed-toe (preferably suede) pumps. Unfortunately, the shoes as described do not exist in my closet, so I went with the next best thing. Dressy color or casual suede? Color won out after much debate. I figured the scarf dressed up the outfit a bit so the shoes don't look entirely out of place. I've been pulled away from pastels and towards brights this spring, so hopefully there will be more colorful outfits to come!

    1. I'm so glad I took a chance on these pants. They're different than anything else in my closet so I wasn't sure if I could work it into my wardrobe. Boy, am I glad at how versatile and comfortable they are. Definitely worth checking out your local Gap, imo.

    1. The yellow is hard to capture (bad photography skills!) I'd say they're a primary yellow -- bold but not quite neon. I certainly do feel like I stand out like neon lights though, haha.

  11. Seriously, how do you always manage the perfect amount of laidback slouch in your outfits?! I eternally try to do it but always end up looking sloppy!

  12. Cute outfit! I love your pairing of the bright yellow top with your dressy pink shoes--it looks so chic and classic. Great look!

  13. Those gap khakis fit you really well! What size are they? I ordered a pair online before and they were too baggy saggy...like the way they look on the models. I should try a smaller size.

    1. I'm wearing size 00 in the khakis. They're a bit loose and slouchy (great for casual looks, imo) but does shrink a bit after washing, which is when I'll usually wear them for dressier looks. Hope that helps!
