My New Favorite Outfit: Cobalt and Orange

Cobalt and Orange

Last year I was ecstatic when I found this Loft skirt at Goodwill and decided to pair it with my cobalt blazer and lace top today.  The first time I wore this skirt I wore it like this, and I was so pleased with myself.  Yipes, that was pretty bad. Today, on the other hand, I really like this. I really like the texture and color mix and definitely think it's an outfit I'll wear again, although I think I might wear it with my cobalt  Portfolio Shirt first.  What do you think, how would you style this skirt? 








Blazer: Loft $30 c/o Chippmuck from contest I won
Blouse: Loft $16 super pretty option
Skirt: Loft $5 pretty option
Necklace: Stella and Dot same
Bracelets: Stella and Dot  Chimera, Moxie , Renegade
Shoes: Fergalicous $30 similar

  2. I don't think the first was that bad but it is fun to look back see how far your fashion know-how has come, isn't it?

  5. I agree with Cheryl, I don't think the first look was bad at all. I think you could still wear it now with just a couple of minor changes. But today's outfit is nice, and I really like the Stella & Dot necklace. Are you wearing two different sets of shoes in these photos?

  6. I love the graphic print on the skirt! I think orange can be a bit of a challenge to style but this cobalt blazer compliments it so nicely!

  16. I actually think you styled this super-cute skirt nicely both times. It looks good with deep blues. Your hair looks better now than a year ago, though.

    Stop by to see how I am wearing Navy lately. Have a Great Weekend, Ada. =)

  19. That skirt is so pretty! The pattern is definitely something I would gravitate toward, although I used to shy away from orange. It's blogs like yours that have encouraged me to get over my fear of orange :)

  20. Cute! I really like the blue and orange together. I also think this could look really bold and nice with hot pink or yellow...
