Another BR dress: Summer Brights

Posted on July 27, 2010November 4, 2014 by Elaine

Most of my wardrobe is fairly neutral but I do have some bright pieces that I pair with my neutrals.
I fell IN LOVE with this pink Banana Republic dress from the BR outlet and I would say it’s the brightest article of clothing I own.  It just makes me feel happy when I put it on and I decided to make the look even brighter by pairing it with a contrasting coloured purse:

Wrap Dress:  Banana Republic size 00P
Purse:  Coach
Earrings:  Avon

Gah, I totally forgot to put shoes on when I took this picture.  It would’ve made it look nicer 😛

I wore this out on the weekend for lunch with the family.  I was inspired to try one of those side swept hair do’s but I’m terrible at doing hair.  It really does have a life of it’s own!  I took a picture anyway so I could see for myself how it looked.  Lucky I was going for the messy kind of look LOL.  You wouldn’t believe how many bobby pins I actually used to keep it in place!

I guess new hair styles is something else I need to work on!

    This is very vibrant and beautiful! Perfect for that contest though I still love your bright florals, very bold!

    Love the color, I think I might have the same wrap dress! But I haven’t worn it as often because I still need to hem it a few inches shorter…I should probably get to that! =P

    I wear a lot of neutrals too, but I love having colorful items to make things more fun! =)

    Such a great dress! This is my favorite item you’ve posted so far! But I am a color lover, so I’m a bit biased. =)

    Curly hair does have a life of it’s own! I gave up on trying to control mine a long time ago…it just does what it wants and we coexist much more peacefully these days.

    Agree with Diya … fuschia pink and lime green is so Barbie, and I am a fan. I like this color against your skintone, too. I own a few fuschia pieces as well and they are wardrobe favorites!

    The dress looks great on you! I’m normally scared of super bright colors and tend to buy neutral things that I think would go with ‘everything’. But the result is that my wardrobe is kind of boring, so I’m starting to warm up to venturing out of my comfort zone.
