I was ready for some bright and funky colors. I tend to wear a lot of black and gray once the cold weather sets in, but with the recent heatwave and gray skies, I was inspired to bring some color to the world. "Joy to the world, the Kassi shines, let earth receive their queen." Kidding. That was over-the-top and quite possibly blasphemous, but it was all in jest. These are my first bright tights of the season, and apparently people in small towns have never seen goldenrod tights before because when I went to get lunch and to stop at a store after work, people looked at me like I was out of my tree. Oh well, guess they didn't think my outfit was a ray of sunshine.
I have not wore this floral top since summer, but I love all of the beautiful colors in it. Instead of pairing it with neutrals, I decided to go bold with fuchsia and goldenrod. I did go for neutral shoes though, that counts for something right? Do you ever go all out and wear several bright colors together?
Top: Burke's, Cardigan: JC Penney, Skirt: New York & Company, Tights: Macy's,
Shoes: Kohl's, Earrings: H&M

ReplyDeleteI usually don't go for bright colors, except for maybe a pop of color in my accessories. I'll get there...

Oh my goodness! The weather (and general atmosphere) here in Seattle is so dim and grey that I would LOVE to see someone dressed as colorfully as you walking around! I love this outfit, Kassi, and PFFT at anyone who doesn't appreciate your brilliance (both intellectually and, erm, outfitually... which is a word... I checked... ::shifty eyes::)
ReplyDeleteIn other news, I like your rendition of that particular classic Christmas carol. I'm eager to hear others.

I LOVE it!! The bright colors together are so nice. I love your tights. I wore bright tights to work once and I got so many comments about them. Maybe people just don't feel comfortable with bright colors!
ReplyDeleteCute!

OH MY GOODNESS, I absolutely LOVE this! Sometimes people do a lot of colors and you're just 'oh ouch! they dont match!' but this is perfect, the shirt and the skirt go beautifully together and I love that you chose yellow tights to match the cardi!
ReplyDeleteSo cute. I stinkin' love that skirt. I want a pink one soooo bad, but no matter where I look I can't find one. You look beautiful dear!
What a beautiful color combo and so unexpected! Like you I tend to wear too much grey, brown and black during winter. You've inspired me to pull together a bright look for the weekend!

I love brights in the winter - and I love that you paired brights with brights. Your goldenrod tights are fabulous with this.
