I was inspired by the bright beautiful colors Cee’s Color Brigade entry this week and wanted to put my own spin on the look. The white blazer was a last-minute addition, but I love crisp summery feel that it adds to the outfit.
As for my hair, this is the second time I’m attempting the half-bun / donut look. When I wore it last time, I had a couple requests to see the back. And because I aim to please, here you go. It kinda looks like you would expect. I’m no hair guru, unfortunately {still working on it}. 😉

I think the white blazer makes the outfit! It adds such a crispness to the bright look.
Another color combo I would not have thought of… and it looks great!
thanks! i give all the credit to Cee for the inspiration! 🙂
cool! I really like the half bun! It looks great! 🙂
I don't remember who inspired me, but I'm glad to provide some inspiration. Let's keep this chain going 🙂
The best part of the outfit is the white blazer — and that structure lapel. Love! I'm so glad you included it.
The white blazer is the perfect topper to this outfit. Love all the brights!
How do you achieve the half bun? I end up flipping my hair over–but then I have midlength hair.
this is so unique with the metallic blacks! good job on your hair, too! 🙂
I bought a little bun donut thing from Sally's and cut it in half. I pretty
much followed Angga's tutorial (
http://reserveradefashion.blogspot.com/2011/03/tutorialhalf-bun.html) on
styling it except I used Goody Spin Pins to secure my hair instead of just
bobby pins… Hopefully you can get it to work with your hair!
I love it! The white blazer balances the color, the brighter the better!

Aww Kileen this is so adorable! I actually saw that ASOS blazer about a month ago and tweeted about it but didn't end up getting it. Nice to see you in it and I'll have to head over and see if it's on sale yet! By the way, welcome back from your honeymoon. I peeked at all your wedding photos and you and your hubby looked wonderful. The venue at the art gallery was amazing and you two look so happy! Wish you a lifetime of happiness together 🙂 Can't wait to see your photos from Africa!

I absolutely love those colors paired together! You look lovely!
You're really making me want to try doing something different with my hair! 🙂
That blazer is absolutely fantastic and perfect with this outfit! It adds such a summery feel. You look stunning!
Come take a look inside A Working Mom's Closet
the bun is looking great and i adore the color palette of your outfit, the accessories are perfect too

Every time you wear one of these skirts, I wish I'd bought one. But then again, the sales girl told me it made me look 'hippy' 🙁
oh yes, i really love this white blazer! the sleeves are a little too long
on me but otherwise the fit is great and definitely suitable for petites! i
had a coupon code for 25% off i think when i bought it. it's a little
pricey still but totally worth it!
and thank you so much for the wedding well-wishes. i hope you're doing well
too! 🙂
the skirt does poof out a little more than i'd like in the hip area, but i kinda like the tulip shape it gives. i think pairing a blazer with the skirt balances out the hip poofiness a little bit, in case you consider a similar skirt in the future. 🙂
I wore that EXACT necklace in my last post (http://chocolatelaced.blogspot.com/2011/06/chocolate-laced-i-wear-my-pencil-skirt.html)! It's my sister's and I didn't know where she got it from. Now I do!

Cee is so inspiring isn't she?!? You look amazing Kileen!
I love how the darkened accessories tone down the bright! That necklace is gorg.
These pictures are gorgeous Kileen, I really love this orange/salmon-like colour this season. Beautiful combination with the red on you. -xo

This skirt is so fabulous! I don't think I could get away with it with my large hips…But you totally pull it off!

These colors look great on you, and pop against the white blazer. Also, your hair looks awesome in a bun.
What a great color combination, Kileen! You wear colors so wear. I love how you paired the outfit with a white blazer. So chic!
Love the brights paired with the gunmetal tones – such an incredibly beautiful contrast!!
Ahh! you make me want a bright kendi/cee/kileen peach/pink/orange outfit so bad! I love how you toned down the brightness with a white blazer. LOVE.
you are super duper cute! i just love the color of that skirt..it's bright and happy!!

Hi! I've been following your blog for awhile now, I love your constant use of color. And this outfit is one of my favorites!
thank you! i just noticed that kendi wore a similar outfit too recently.
you should jump on the bandwagon! 🙂
oh thank you so much for the compliments. and thanks so much for commenting
too! 🙂
Great colours, Kileen! The white blazer just tones it down a bit and you look very professional
Goodness, you're so cute. This outfit is amazing. As I was looking at these pictures, I thought to myself, "Why can't I dress like this? I'd definitely be voted 'best dressed' my senior year." It's a goal of mine. But seriously, your look is so sophisticated, but still young and fresh and adorable. I love the interesting color combination, and the crisp white blazer.
