I decided to try something different today. I put the bows, lace, and pencil skirts aside for a day and challenged myself with something completely out of my comfort zone. Sometimes you just need a change of pace, ya know? I don’t normally wear cropped tops, studded belts, or caged gladiator sandals, but here we are. I felt like a little rebel in this outfit. And it was awesome.
I couldn’t help but slip a few patriotic pictures in. Happy 4th!! 🙂
And yup, this is my Fourth of July edition of the Color Brigade {just picture my belt as a nice shade of red instead of hot pink, lol}! The winner of last week’s Color Brigade is Cess from The Outfit Diaries with her teal, orange, and purple combo (8 likes + 49 clicks!). It’s absolutely stunning.

oh my goodness – i LOVE this look on you! you really should try to rock it more often. so fun, friend!!! 🙂
damn those shoes are so bad ass!!!!! great 4th of july outffit!!! not too obvious. hope you had a great holiday weekend hun!!
The blog is called "cute and little," but this look is "fierce (yet still cute) and little." Providing the fierceness are those sandals. The T-shirt says it best- I got nothing but love for this look. Very awesome casual look, Kileen!

And you look just fabulous with this not so your usual style! I prefer your usual feminine style better, but I do love that you break the rule once in a while. It makes fashion a lot more fun!

I love this outfit! Sometimes good things happen when we go out of our comfort zone 🙂
Looking AWESOME Kileen!!!
These shoes are killer. Literally, they look like they could hurt someone.
I like this look on you, Kileen! Don't get me wrong, I love your usual style but it is nice to try out new looks every once in awhile. God knows how many misses more than hits I've had when I do that, but it's fun! Happy Monday to you!
haha, i agree. they're my weapon of choice. 🙂
thanks! 🙂
Your shoes are something to die for! Love the entire outffit. so freaking cute!

Girl rebel works on you 🙂 Love those shoes!
I love it! I always try to bring a little edge to my outfits myself, as I'm not such a girly-girl, and I am so digging those shoes – if only my feet were a smidge larger and my feet could handle that kind of height for the entire day (yet again bemoaning the meager selection in size 3 and 4 shoes…) And you pull off the cropped shirt perfectly, which I'm not sure I would be brave enough to do. 🙂 But the pink in the belt and the 'love' on the tee still show your girlie side (and some color) – awesomely done!
Ahem….a$$ kicking… 😉
I love your 4th of July look! Those shoes are so hot!! I really need a pair of those caged sandals
