Just because it’s getting colder doesn’t mean that I can’t wear bright colors! I love this bright melon tulip skirt but did find it somewhat hard to style at first. Since it is so poofy, I usually opted for fitted tops that would help balance out the volume on the bottom. But, today I felt adventurous and went with an over-sized top and surprisingly enough, it actually kinda worked!
I love how the v-shape of the top creates an subtle hourglass shape with the poofed out skirt. And while the top and skirt didn’t have any similar colors to create a pairing, I luckily had a blue-toned skinny belt that was the perfect accessory to tie everything together.

This is such a great color combination; the colors of the top flows so nicely into the skirt that it could've worked as a dress. Nice job, Kileen!
Kileen says
Yes, definitely!! This shirt looks so much better worn than on the hanger. The colors are beautiful!

Kileen,
I accidentally entered my photo in last Monday's Color Brigade, so I hope you don't mind that I reentered it here. I'm not trying to pull a fast one, I swear!
P.S. You look better than ever, if that's even possible.
