READER SUBMISSION

We were so happy when Ashley agreed to do a reader submission. You guys, she's a real life but younger Tami Taylor (and who doesn't LOOVEEE tami taylor?!?!) She is married to a HS football coach, mother of three, and just really wonderful. She blogs about all types of things from fashion and recipes, to life with her three cute children. I have really enjoyed reading her blog, and now she is here on ours!

Hello! I'm Ashley from The Vanilla Tulip and I am in need of your input!
I love wearing bright colors...especially pinks, corals and reds.
I put this outfit together for church a few weeks ago but ended up taking it off.
I loved it but couldn't decide if it was too much pink and red?
I put the belt with it in hopes of breaking it up a bit.
Is there a rule I'm missing on wearing bright colors together?
You know when you love an outfit and desperately want it to work...
then you end up justifying that it looks great even if it doesnt.
I just can't decide if that's the case here or not!
My questions for you duplex girls is...
Does this outfit work?
Is a red top and pink skirt a bad combo?

Hmmmm. I'd say SUPER SUPER cute outfit..style wise - really cute hair too! :) But the colors are clashy in my opinion.

It doesn't look terrible, but I think a tan or khaki skirt would work better.

Personally I like it :) I think the most important thing is that you feel comfortable in your outfit, otherwise people will think it doesn't work as you will come across awkward. If you are confident in what your wearing, other people will be too :)

I honestly can't decide how I feel about it. I love the colors but I'm not sure if they go together. But I really love them so I think I'd do it anyway! And it looks great on you so I say... GO FOR IT!! And I think the belt and shoes really add to the whole ensemble!

growing up I was always taught it was a NEVER but I can honestly say I think you pull it off.

I love it!! I think pink and red always look great together!! And I agree with the comment above about the neutral belt and shoes. It kind of makes the whole outfit flow. Again, I love it!

Cute! Cute, cute, cute and I love her hair. Funny too, as I had no idea who Tami Taylor is but that is how I spell my name so I like her no matter what :)

Jen said...

Sorry if this is harsh, but this outfit makes me cringe. Red and pink is just too much for me.

Annie said...

I think if they weren't both so bright, then it'd work a little better. I think it's a fun combo that you can totally pull off, just make sure one is a darker color, not both so bright. But it's still super cute!

I am not a fan of red and pink. In my opinion you need more neutral colors in there. (Love the shoes though!)
