This is the outfit I wore last Sunday. We went to church and then I headed out to Western Mass to visit some girlfriends. Don’t you love good afternoons with friends. I sure do. I wasn’t really sure what to wear Sunday morning. I was walking around my closet pulling things out and then putting them back. Nothing really was catching my attention. I saw this sweater and I have not worn it for a very long time. I never know what to wear with it, but its just so darn pretty. I ended up matching it with this skirt. I really liked the contrasting colors together.
Do you like pairing together odd color schemes or do you usually play it safe?

This color combo definitely works. The skirt looks like it’s kind of a gold color, which is a neutral anyway, so it looks great! I love the light blue tights, too.

ooh, lovely. I’m all for contrasting colours, those two look especially good. I particularly like red and green together. Sounds odd, but it works on my with my colouring (green eyes, red hair!)

The tights really bring it all together. A little matchy with the sweater, so it goes. Very cute!

I love the color combination you have going on! I like to wear cleverly mismatched things, too…pink and red, orange and red, orange and pink, pink and purple. yum!

That outfit is just beautiful! I really mean it, just beautiful! You girls are all so much more stylish than I am, I am a play it safe girl all the way. Today I am wearing some kakis and a solid black top with black sandals (I love Arizona). I need to take a lesson from you Jen!

I LOVE that colour combo jen!! It’s really cute – but honestly, I have no idea how you come up with such brilliant ideas. I would never have though to put them together, but it really works. (Also, I now totally want those shoes. they’re ridiculously adorable!)

It is such a pretty and unexpected color combo! And I love the casual, off-center ponytail (I just can’t call them side ponytails, it seems too 80s!)

I think these colours look great together! I tend to play it safe but you and other bloggers that play with colour (Kendi Everyday, What I Wore etc) are inspiring me to mix it up a bit!

I really like this color scheme. I’m a big fan of light blue and yellow. And your shoes are amazing. I always seem to miss out on the greats at Forever 21.

The more comfortable I get with my own style the more comfortable I have become with odd color schemes….it is so much fun and I always feel a little sassier when I pull it off! I love this look! I think the colors you chose really work well together. I would love to find a skirt like that!

I love the combination of colours! I usually play it safe, but the odd time I will mix some bright colours together. It always cheers me up… makes me think I should do it more often!
