A Lime Green Summer Skirt
I recently shared my first outfit post, A Summer of Color, focusing on wearing color for summer. In that post, I raved about my newfound appreciation for summer brights though I usually stay away from colors that are too bright because at times they make me appear a little too tanned. But to show you that I’m not kidding when it comes to wearing brights this summer – today I share with you my second post where I incorporated a color I wouldn’t normally wear, lime green. I paired this wonderfully lively skirt with neutrals because it’s already very bright. I didn’t wear any additional bright colors because I didn’t want to take away from the skirt; I wanted it to be the center of the outfit. I think this was achieved with the cream top, brown belt and shoes and not to mention the earthy location.
Keep-in-mind, that if you’re trying to ease into the world of color you don’t need to plunge into the deep end by wearing all bright colors. You can try one piece at a time, as I did in this outfit, or if you’re feeling a little braver you can wear lots of color, like I did in my last outfit.
Are you like me? Starting to become a fan of color? I would love to read your colorful thoughts in the comments below!
Stay Stylish,

I am so on and off again with color! I always try to expand the colors of my wardrobe but find myself going back to the good ole black and white again and again. Love the bright lime green skirt you are wearing… need to inject that color into my closet!

KamolaI’m very much like that too. This summer I’m making an effort to include color in my outfits such as this one. It’s easiest to start with one piece.

I love this post! I actually have a few new flared skirts like this and I was wondering how to wear them because I feel like sometimes with them my waist seem undefined, but this is perfect with the wide belt. I’ll have to try it!

So good to see bright colours. I’m in the South of France and it still feels like we’re in October!

After years and year of black, beige and other neutral colours, I really became a fan of colours.
I still love black or neutral looks but my closet finally has a much wider colour scheme.
Your lime green skirt is awesome and I love your cute belt!
