Outfit of the Week: Cute in Coral



I've raved on and on about this hot summer color and used it as this week's inspiration. I wanted something cute, summery, and you can even wear it while traveling! So let's see what I came up with:

  • Start with a basic black tank.
  • Add this amazing J Crew candy wrap skirt that everyone's been wearing this summer.
  • Some adorable strappy flats
  • A chunky statement necklace in coral
  • And of course, some coral polish--I'm wearing this right now!
Are you one of the lucky owners of this skirt? How do YOU wear coral?

  5. How cute is that skirt?! I really love coral as a summer color - especially with lots of black accents. In the winter it also becomes my toe polish color of choice.

  14. I love coral with black, it makes it a little less girly somehow. I have been afraid of pink until recently, as seen here: http://sweetersalt.com/2010/07/01/the-non-pink-wearers-guide-to-wearing-pink/, so with black it makes it feel a little tougher!

  17. I've been obsessing over coral lately, too! I mainly pair it with pink and tan, but sometimes I'll go with turquoise. Can't get enough of coral this summer!

  18. I love necklaces like that and I have yet to find one.

  19. I adore coral- probably have 7 coral tee's in my wardrobe (because less than 5 isn't enough, right?).

    I also love coral-colored makeup- NARS Orgasm comes to mind. Also Cargo's blush in Rome. A nice pop.

  20. What a nicely put together outfit! I'd totally wear it out for a summer date to Navy Pier. Now if Only I had the money.

    P.S. I sucked up some courage and googled Doll Island, and I am mortified. Maybe even beyond mortified. My boyfriend asked me what was wrong as soon as the pictures uploaded because my face went completely white. Guh! If I would up in Hell, I'm sure it would look like that and I'd be crying in a corner the entire time.

  25. Personally not a fan of coral, but I do like that skirt (:
    And I just typed "fishtail plait" into youtube and a tutorial came up, it's not too difficult!

  26. @rebecca rawr! Or did u mean the tutorial isn't difficult?

  27. Perfect, it's a lot better than the basic tank top + shorts combo a lot of people wear in the sweltering heat. I've been puzzled myself a bit lately on what to put on...I wish I had this skirt!

    P.S. Yes, I am going to Disney World...and the Harry Potter theme park, which I am a little too excited about considering my age.

  28. Yes love coral and wearing my Urban Outfitters coral top today! so fun and bright : ) love the collage!

  29. I'm loving coral right now too! I've been painting my nails with Essie's Carousel Coral and can't get enough of it. I think it's time that I buy some coral accessories too.
