Skippy Says: Colorific (OOTD)

I'm not sure how these pre-haircut pictures got away from me, but here's the last shots of me with my long hair. Oh wait, I do know how they got away-- I wasn't sure if I wanted to post them. You see, Ryan wasn't the biggest fan of this outfit. I believe phrases like "color overload" and "box of crayola crayons" came out of his mouth. It's possible that I may have responded by calling him a turd, because, you know, I''m mature like that.

    I'm mesmerized by the color of your top. I think it's time (again) that I start nudging my way out of the neutral fog I'm in.

    I love the bold color on top and bottom. This definitely works girl! I love how you two get into it. HAHAHA Have a great day girl.

    Ooh, Skippy, this is a lovely blouse! I love the saturated color and the sexy cut (mitigated by the high neckline - very sultry).

    And tell Ryan to shove it. I think you look great :)

    Glad you shared the outfit, its not crayola at all! I just love the jacket, its unlike anything I've ever seen. The details on your blouse are beautiful too!

    Not too much color at all. The more color the better. My husband makes fun of my big scarves all the time. Heather

    I don't think it's too much color at all! Just right :) And I love cobalt and yellow together. Oh, and I say turd all the time - I guess we're both mature.

    Psh, I think this outfit is great! Of course, I'm partial to the blue and gold pairing, so I'm biased.

  15. KimDecember 8, 2011 at 6:56 AM

    Your outfit totally works! Husbands are just like that - mine hates it when I wear colored shoes with a black dress because it "doesn't match." Oh well. I love the blue and yellow color combination, and the skirt really anchors the whole outfit :)

    Thanks Kim!! And colored shoes with a black dress are the best- makes it so fun! I wanted to wear bright pink shoes with a nude dress to Ryan's company's holiday party this year, but that got vetoed :)

    I don't think it's the tights he had a problem with so much as pairing them with the bright blue....but what does he know? :)

    NOT color overload, more like color cuteness! I am loving yellow and blue together lately. In fact, I just posted a yellow and blue outfit today! So ha, if two fashion bloggers are doing it, it MUST be cool... right?

  37. According to LaraDecember 8, 2011 at 8:34 AM

    Tell Ryan I think he's a stupidhead (now who's mature?) because I think the outfit is adorable. In fact, and I mean this in an endearing way, it kind of reminds me of Snow White with the bright blue/bold yellow. All you need is a little red and you're set ;)

  38. Jennifer FabulousDecember 8, 2011 at 8:41 AM

    Well, I think your outfit is spectacular! Royal blue and mustard are one of my favorite color combos. :) Those tights are awesome! You look adorable!

  39. Madeline QuaintDecember 8, 2011 at 8:55 AM

    I honestly don't see where the colour overload is! It's absolutely the right amount of colour, some blue and some mustard! :)
    Plus the shoes look super comfortable!

    This is not to many colors at all. Half of them are neutrals. I think you look great. I can't keep track of all the 'man-repellers' but I'm pretty sure bright loud colors is on the list. My boy is not a huge fan of them either. But he knows to keep his mouth shut.
