Hm, I’ll be the first to admit that I think this outfit might just be a little too bright. The orange lips put it over the top. On the bright side though, these shorts at least make my legs looks {kinda} long. Let’s just focus on that then, k? 🙂
Moral of the story: finding your style is always a work in progress.
P.S. In case you missed it:

Wow the XS blazer fits you so well. I wanted the same blazer before, but was worried that it might be too wide on me. Maybe I'll try it out when it goes on sale : )
Kileen says
It's a little bit big but not too bad on me. You're smaller than I am though so I'm not too sure… Try it out though when it goes on sale!

I am a huge fan of blazers with shorts, and I think the bold colors are great – it is still summer after all!
Kileen says
Haha, it is still summer! Gotta make the most out of the remaining hot weather when we have it!

I don't think the color is too much! The more the better 🙂 And I really like the subtlety of the cobalt patent leather belt on top of the cobalt linen shorts, I almost didn't see it at first. Very cool.

I have always loved the blue and mustard combination. I don't think I'll have a chance to wear those blue shorts anymore this year. Your outfit is not bright at all. The lipstick suits you well.
Marie_McGrath says
I'm loving the yellow and blue together! You look so pretty.

thanks! i'm kinda glad that we have several more weeks of warm weather left for the year (but at least it's not boiling hot anymore!). i have so much more remixing i wanna do out of my summer clothes! 🙂
hautepinkpretty says
Adorable! love the look – especially that blazer! <3
Alex Elizabeth says
Noooo it's not too bright at all! I love these colors, especially the shorts. Right now I'm on the search for a dress that color for fall.
Bravoe Runway says
Hmm…..I don't think this is too bright at all! I like the yellow tank with the royal blue shorts, and the orange lipstick looks great! It actually warms up the outfit! For fall I bought a classic red and bordeaux lip colour, I am thinking to try the orange you are wearing ! I hope it'll look this good 🙂
H&K Style Journey says
This look isn't too bright at all. The white blazer tones down the yellow top and blue shorts. It helped pull it all together. The lipstick is fab too!
Kileen says
aww thank you! 🙂
Meg Henning says

Me too! Definitely picked up quite a few mustard pieces recently.

I really like this, and don't think the lips make things over the top or too bright at all. It's really pretty and you look great.
