many people are afraid to buy clothes in bright hues. what you may not realize, is that purchasing a piece in a colour can actually give you just as much mileage, if not more, than a neutral. different accessories can completely change the look of an item. it’s all about being creative!
the basis of this outfit was the coral skirt. this coral maxi is obviously a big statement and the main attraction. in order to let it shine, i paired it with a simple white tank top that is form fitting to balance out my proportions and highlight my smallest point; my waist. my trick to breaking up two contrasting colours is to bring them together with a longer necklace. this particular charm necklace has some hints of colour in it, and i played with that by adding more brights in the bangles. for additional interest, i threw on a surprise turquoise and brown shoe, with a coordinating brown structured over the shoulder bag.
it’s summer, have fun with it! nothing has to doesn’t have to match perfectly. colours just need to compliment your look! next time, try opting for a bright colour and mixing it with pieces you have already! you just never know what kind of beautiful outfit you might come up with 🙂

Great colour combination!
How do you shop on modcloth? It doesn't allow shipping to BC…?
I only recently discovered your blog.
actually that's a lie I randomly have read your posts via RTs on twitter.
I read your 3 year bloggingversary post and went back to your older posts. Then I proceed to read 95% of your posts (I swear I'm not a stalker) and I am appalled at how long it's taken me to discover your blog.
AMAZING =)
This is such a great post alicia! I adore the skirt so much, it's a really lovely overall look 🙂 x

I have to admit that I was seriously admiring your coral skirt on Saturday, and all of the fabulous turquoise/green accessories you paired with it… You make it look so easy! I'm still not quite convinced I could pull it off myself, but you do have me thinking of trying 🙂
