A Little Lime Sometimes

I picked up this frilly skirt around a year ago and was instantly drawn to it because of the bright lime band, and then this season, I found this lime-colored cardigan at a different store.  The two colors are a perfect match and although I didn't buy the cardigan to match the skirt, I couldn't help but to pair them together.  The large polka dots on my blouse add an extra touch of fun to my frilly-ruffly-flowery-girly look.  What do you think of my pairing?

And please REMEMBER that you have less than a week left to enter my $75 Shopbop giveaway!   Head over to Shopbop now to dream about what you would get if you won!

  1. Very cute look - topped off perfectly by the Hello Kitty bag. :)

  2. That bright lime band definitely adds a nice extra pop of color & nicely deviates from the usual black band. I've found that lime is actually a fun color, & pretty versatile too, when it comes to creating looks.
