I was a bit wary of mixing this fuchsia top with the bright coral cardigan {it's so bright, even for me!}, but since Adrian said he liked the outfit better with the cardigan, I figured it must be ok. It's not often that I take fashion advice from a guy who wears t-shirts and cargo pants all weekend long, but he does know when something looks ridiculous -- like earlier today when I tried to pair this dress with calf height suede boots... Let's just say it's a good thing I had a second opinion when getting dressed today!

i like the extra punch of the cardigan!
thanks!! i love the asymmetrical cut of the dress hem too. :)
i love the outfit! looks so good on you!
I love the coral/fuchsia look! Aren't boys funny? I always have to try and figure out when my boy is being crazy and when he really actually doesn't like something. It's a crab shoot half the time. :)
love the different colors and how it goes against the stripes!!
Love this Kileen...you are rocking the brights...so you know I would love this :)
The hemline of your dress gone skirt is gorgeous! Love how your lip color matches the top perfectly, have a lovely week ahead doll!

My husband also always helps me edit or change my outfits! :)
I do love the colours together though - they look great!
Good thing you've mixed those bright colors together........they are looking fabulous!! :)
The white really balances things out. This is so cute I don't know what to do with it.
That skirt is so much fun. I love how you coordinated all the pieces together. Terrific job!
Great skirt! You look lovely!
I would have never thought to pair fuschia with coral...but it actually works really well! As for wearing that skirt with boots, I think it could totally work - like mid-calf/knee length leather boots in a mahoganyish color would look cute. :)
Love that sweater with those stripes!! Great again Kileen! XO

Love the two colours together - they dont clash at all - they just go so well !
Love the skirt as well - Great design, Love the asymmetry of it - Is it cut against the bias as well ?
Looks really nice.
LOL regarding Adrian! How's married life BTW? :) Isn't it great! People scoff when I tell them how awesome being married is...LOL
I don't think it's too bright at all- looks pretty Kileen :) I want to enter the color brigade but am too chicken and have no idea what I'm doing or when I should do it..LOL
Annie! Married life is pretty great, although it's not that much different from before cause we've been living together for over 3 years already. But it's nice that it's official. :)
As you have some colorful outfits that are definitely Color Brigade worthy! I love the mustard, camel, leopard combo from this post in particular: http://www.reallypetite.com/2011/10/lookbook-mustard-sweater-and-camel-wool.html
