I had planned out a completely different outfit for today before I went to bed last night. But when I tried it on this morning, it kinda seemed blah on me so I decided to do some last minute switch-ups. I saw this skirt that I had bought a few months ago on summer clearance from Urban Outfitters for $10 (yeah, beat that Forever 21!) and decided it was time to bring it out already. The trouble with the skirt though it that it’s kinda a weird industrial gray color. Like putty. And in the wrong light, it actually looks like a seafoam green. But since I can’t be indecisive in the mornings or else I would never make it to work on time, I decided to just go with the original planned shirt. I’m not sure if it really goes, but I think it kinda worked. And at least in the wrong light, I am wearing green in honor of St. Pattys. What more could you ask for right?
Maybe I should go drink a Guinness to celebrate. If only I didn’t think beer tasted gross… 🙂

Kileen says

I love the crisp lines on your skirt.
Erica says
For not being sure about the color, you sure wore the skirt well! And $10 at UO? That's fantastic!

Kileen says

Kileen says
yes, even after years of trying to like it, i still can't stand beer! lol.
Darbey says
Not green… but SO cute! 🙂 I love the color blue on you as well as your hair slicked back like that! You look very bright and polished in this outfit! LOVE IT!
ilene says
again i'm loving your bag – and that color is gorgeous on you!!
Mrs. J says
Great deal with the skirt, I love when Urban has those crazy markdowns. Lovely outfit!! 🙂
ps. I had beer once and couldn't get the nasty taste out of my mouth so it's a NO-GO for me.
Jarucha says
I agree – beer is awful and hurts the figure! Haha. So why bother wasting calories on something that doesn't taste good. I kinda like the skirt actually…surprised about the color…it looks grey to me.
SkiPetite says
The skirt is really cute. You can't tell it is a weird color in the pics. I want it!
Vanessa says
I really like it, and it looks fresh together.

kimmie says
Oooh I love that skirt! and really? seafoam? It looks grey to me 🙂
and beer IS gross. fruity cocktails for me please 🙂
Kileen says
yeah, it's really a grey color in natural daylight. but somehow fluorescent
lighting made it look kinda seafoamy green…
hurricanekerrie says
I also totally think beer tastes gross! That's why I just drink cocktails or wine coolers or white/blush wine. 🙂 The only good beer I've had is a Stella Artois. But between that and any other cocktail, I'd rather have the cocktails…
Alamodeetplus says
I think it definitely goes and looks great!! The skirt is such a nice fit on you, and that blue color is beautiful with your hair and skin tone.

Kimberly Parham says
you sneaker! you snuck turquoise and probably argued it to be "green." sneaker! and I don't mean the shoe type. I mean the sneaky type. 😉
Dana says
I love this outfit. I think the skirt looks awesome with the top. I can't imagine it looking seafoam green, but either way, it would still be cute.
Lisachen08 says
i can't drink beer either *bleh* i love your shoes!! you always have the cutest pumps!
katypbrooks says
now THAT is a gorgeous skirt! i think you pull of gray very well! hope yall had a good st. patty's day 😉
Kileen says
Haha, it was actually the skirt that kinda looked a weird seafoam green under the fluorescent light. Definitely not intended, lol.
Kileen
Kileen says
Yeah, I didn't even really wanna wear green today, but some people did think this skirt was green, so go figure right? 🙂
Kileen
cryskay says

oomph. says

Cute outfit! Love the shoes and watch! I just went out and bought myself a rose gold watch earlier this week, I had been searching for a good one for awhile :o)
Thanks for visiting my blog!

well this is a nice last minute switch up !
I love turquoise for this spring, you look great !
Corrie says
That's so weird the color comes across green under different lighting. I like the skirt and the overall outfit and the colors totally work together. Did you do anything fun for St. Paddy's Day under florescent lighting so the green was on display and festive? 🙂

Leena1021 says
kileen, i reallly, reallly love this outfit! love how the belt, necklace and shoes really go together! and i have also been eyeing that watch in the gold tone. i was going to purchase it from piperlime through give and get, but learned it was excluded. how do you like it?
Emmy says
I really like this skirt and what a deal!! It looks great paired with that skirt…That shade of gray can be tough esp for someone who loves brights but I think you created a perfect contrast with this outfit!!
Courtney Thomas says
I love this shade of blue on you! I personally enjoy beer but it's definitely not for everyone.

What a great skirt and the color of the top is gorg! You look great Kileen!
Kileen says
I am absolutely LOVING this watch!! it's the "Small Runway" style so the
watch face is 5mm smaller than their normal watch faces. it fits my wrist
perfectly and i've gotten nothing but compliments on it since I bought it!
i highly recommend! 🙂

Love your heels!! & I agree with you beer to me tastes yucky! My hubby loves to kick back with a cold beer though so when he asks me to get him one I say to him "Pee Juice coming right up!" hahaha

Kileen says
lol, that's what i think everytime too!! pee juice. 🙂
Trophyboutique says
I'm pretty sure this is better than boring old green on St. Patty's day. There should really be a seafoam holiday…
silvrgurl says
Hope you stood in the wrong light all day yesterday and looked beautifully green.
Thanks again for all of your help last night
Kileen says
no problem! happy to help. 🙂
Justine @ Just Better Together says
I think this outfit turned out great! I really like the skirt on you and your sweater is a nice color too! On a side note, I can never find sweaters from Express that doesn't show to much

Rinny says
The skirt looks great on you! I love the pleating 😀
Hanna says
The skirt does look industrial-ish but you totally glammed it up with a smart belt and necklace! Thanks for going different and wearing non green on St Patricks Day. Saw a girl on campus with green leggings with green shorts and a green top. She looked like spinach and I wanted to vomit.
Kileen says
lol, that's hilarious! no vomiting here. 🙂
Ellenreviewsblog says
Super like! 🙂 you are really good with this. 🙂 you should produce a book about corporate/casual attire. 🙂
Kileen says
lol, i don't know if i'm that good, but thanks! 🙂
Angeline says
oh I think that skirt is so pretty! The color (in the pics at least) totally goes with the top. And such a great deal!
Lisachen08 says
