how colorful do you go?

It's funny how not too long ago, colored skinny jeans were something I admired from afar, not daring to try on my own. They were too "loud" for me, and I didn't think I could pull them off. But now look, I'm going around wearing bright green skinnies (they're brighter than they look in the picture) and I'm wearing them with a bright blue top! Talk about loud! I'm really happy with what my style has and is continuing to evolve into. I feel so much more myself in something like this than I ever did in slightly oversized, boring clothes that allowed me to blend in but didn't give me any kind of style of my own or show off my personality. And I do think part of it is loving who I am and what my body is, which is something that can take some time, I can tell you. 

I adore this tunic, and I was so excited when I found it at Old Navy. Lately chiffon tunics like this with a cami underneath have been go-tos for me because they are lightweight enough that when I'm up and down and all around with all the kids I work with, I don't get too hot. Definite plus. This is also the second time I've worn this necklace this week. I'm in LOVE, guys. It's another one from my Apple of My Eye Jewelry grab bag!

So, how colorful do you go with your outfits?

Black and Mustard

You may recognize this as Outfit 2 in my 7X7 REMIX. I love this combination with the black on top and mustard on the bottom, because I think it just looks nice and pulled together, without actually having to try hard at all. All I did was throw on a gold necklace and a gold ring to pull it all together in a simple way. I'm not wearing my shoes in these pictures unfortunately, since I took these during a brief visit home in the middle of the day and my shoes usually come off when I walk in the door. But just try to picture it with my brown TOMS.

Pants: Carson's

red and blue: May 16th Outfit

All of the pieces in this outfit are new except for the ring. And the shoes were worn just last week, as you saw, but they're still new. I was super lucky to score these amazing pants on sale from The Limited for just $6.99! Aren't they awesome? They print is abstract but kind of reminds me of animal, camouflage, and floral prints all in one. Most importantly: they're red. The top I just picked up at Target and I like the chambray look to it, even though it's not, and the pocket. And then this necklace from Kohl's is an instant new favorite! The whole outfit is very Springy to me- what do you think?

Disneybound Day 25/April 25th Outfit

I don't have anything special going on today, just working my nanny job and then grad school class at night. But we all know that when we look good, we feel good, right? I love today's outfit, so it's making me feel good on an otherwise ordinary day.

Snow White

I've never done a primary colors combination for my outfit before, but now I realize that's just silly. I'm loving these colors together in my outfit. My pants are more of an orangish yellow, but that's ok. I am really in love with these pants. I paired them with a more lightweight and slouchy blue top, which I think gives the outfit a more effortless look. I just got this necklace in the mail, and it's perfect. Red shoes are a perfect pop of color to any outfit, and I was really lucky to score these online from Urban Outfitters for $4 last summer. Then to finish off, I added my owl ring, inspired by Snow White living in  the cottage in the woods.

I was really excited when I noticed this morning that I got positive comments on my Esmeralda outfit on clothapp.com! Honestly, this was definitely one of my favorite, if not my very favorite, Disneybound outfits so far. And I always love getting feedback, so it was nice to hear that others liked it too! So if you stumble across this blog, don't ever be shy to comment- all are welcome :)
