Out of the Box.

Okay, so I realize that wearing bright colors isn’t that abnormal for most people, but when given the choice
between a neutral and a color, approximately 85.75% of the time I’ll go for the neutral. So when presented
with choice of buying this skirt in gray and pink, I thought I’d push myself a bit and buy the pink … and
I’m really glad I did. I love this skirt and it pairs really well with the rest of my primarily neutral wardrobe.

 

 



Outfit Breakdown:
Shirt: J.Crew / Skirt: Gap (available online and in stores) / Necklace: Purchased in Lamu (similar)
Shoes: Joan & David via Macy’s

Hair:
Wrapped away from my face with a small curling iron. Twisted back bangs and pinned.

The reviews on this skirt says that it runs big, which is definitely true. However, the size I normally wear didn’t
come in with the first shipment so I tried it on in a size up. I ended up buying it because I kind of liked that
it was a slouchy, relaxed fit. Plus, it’s a great length with heels since it sits lower on my hips.

I posted a preview of the wedding we shot in Vermont on the photography blog! If you’re interested in

    I just broke into the world of maxi skirts. Did a similar thing… opted for GREEN over a neutral (admittedly, it is a sage-ish green… not TOO far from a neutral, but still, a little outside of my box). Got it for a holiday party at work. I was complimented on it all night :) . I love this outfit you’re wearing. ALSO: I’m coming home for the holidays and I’m thinking about getting my hurr did while I’m in GR! I’m thinking a little shorter and redish. Any availability? :)

    that pink looks good with your skin tone. and your new hair color. :)

  14. What a stunning skirt, & outfit for that matter, I absolutely love this from head-to-toe!! And Kayley, great job on the office re-vamp too, beautiful – it’s like it’s right out of the page of a Pottery Barn catalog! xo

    Hi there!

    I came over here from Feathers and Freckles, and I’m so glad I did! You just seem so… so… effortlessly stylish… and sweet! I have been creeping… err… enjoying your blog for about half an hour, so I just had to say “hi” – HI!! *waves*

    I love this pink and white outfit – pink and white is one of my all-time favorite color combos, just behind pink and black. Have you ever done any pink and black outfits?

    Oh, and what does the tattoo on the back of your neck mean?

    xo

      Hi Kat! Glad you found my blog. :) I love pink and white, too. I also wear pink and black but normally with more of a pale pink. The tattoo means “The Lord Who Loves”. Thanks for asking!

    I just found your blog through Feathers and Freckles and I have to say, it is lovely! Your style is so sweet and charming, I love it! Definitely following now!

    My oh my are you adorable! So glad I found you at Feathers & Freckles. I flipped through a few pages & I’m hooked! I’m always on the hunt for fashionable ladies who fit my style (& price range for clothes) because I’m quite fashion-challenged. Plus, I live in Salt Lake City & I need to follow more bloggers who live in the snow for outfit ideas! Anyway, I’m glad you got the pink too – super cute & looks great on you!

  18. two birds says:

    i love this look! it’s something i would never choose for myself, but wish i would. great choice on the pink.

  19. Jenn says:

    I’m the same way when it comes to picking colors and I usually pick the safest color. But you are so brave choosing that pink! I love how you styled it simply with the white top. You look amazing and I can’t wait to see how else you remix this skirt.

  20. Angela says:

    Ah, I do the same thing! I guess maybe I just think my hair is out-of-the-box enough, haha
