{Outfit Inspiration} Orange & Aqua

Blue seems to be making frequent appearances in my outfits lately. I don’t know if it’s a land-locked Summer thing, but I’m constantly drawn to the watery shades. Last time I paired it with a neutral gray, but today it’s all about the punch of orange!

The skirt speaks for itself with the vibrant watercolor print, so I kept the rest of the outfit simple. Normally I’d pair it with a colorful top, but sometimes all an outfit needs is a white tee. Especially when it’s a steamy 106-degrees outside! I love orange, but it’s not a flattering color on me…so having it in a
skirt, and away from my face, is a great way to incorporate it in my
closet.

I don’t usually pull my bangs back, but heat and humidity got the best of them.

The turquoise jewels pull the outfit together. I’m crazy for the bangles and ring, courtesy of my sponsor, The Shopping Bag Store! I can’t wait to try the non-toxic nail polish they sent, too…it has no smell?!?!

  2. I adore the bracelet too! And too bad the heat and humidity stays so long in Texas! I think everyone is getting ready for fall and we're still in the thick of it.

  7. You look great in anything! I've yet to venture in to florals yet – I keep having flashbacks to freshmen year of high school. 😉 Love your skirt though -maybe I should go for it!

    Cute! Nice job with the accessories, that's what I have the hardest time with when it comes to creating an outfit. Also, love your roots and cowlick comment;) Both look great!

    Thank you!! You just confirmed an idea I had that I thought might have been a little too crazy…but apparently it wasn't! A fabric pumpkin in a turquoise/white damask pattern and orange leaves…thank you!! 🙂

    You look cute Cass! I love that pairing, although for naturally brown Asian skin, it would make me look even browner ( is there even such a word?!)!!! LOL! I am into pinks with coral this summers, and now going into navy's and greens with white. I so love Zara too!
