Stepping out of the norm here to bring you one crazy funky skirt! I had the time of my life in Brazil and was very inspired by all of the bright colors. They created such an energy that it was hard not to play along. To be honest, I could stick with basic colors for forever and be quiet happy, but I like to add in a few colorful pieces for the hubs. On our anniversary a few months ago we played my own version of the newlywed game. I say my version because I created the questions (sneaky sneaky)! One question being – what was your favorite thing I wore in the past few months. To my utter shock he said yoga pants and this really bright colored coral top I wear with them. Fall out of my chair..really?! That was your favorite? Not the beautiful dress I wore to a gala where I spent hours on my hair and make-up? WORKOUT PANTS AND A WORKOUT TOP. I was pretty surprised, as you can tell, so I asked him why. He said it was when I was at my most natural state and he loved the bright color. awwww. Ever since he told me that, I purposely wear bright clothes for him. Sometimes, you have to please the man! So when I saw this Peplum skirt on ASOS I knew this piece would be perfect! It had the Brazilian flair I had come to respect as well as the bright colors he would love. It was way out of the ordinary but for some reason I just couldn’t let it slip. I plan to stick with my basic, neutral colors but every so often I might surprise him and you all with some POPs of color!
