I find the phrase “a pop of color” to be a heinous cliché. Kind of like “day-to-night.” That’s not to say I don’t like pops of color. In fact, I’m a big fan, as you might have noticed if you have functioning eyeballs (style blogs are probably lost on you otherwise). Sometimes I even go with two pops of different colors like I did here. I just hate calling them that because everyone else does. But I guess there really isn’t a better phrase. It’s like “moist” – everyone seems to hate that word, but there’s not a great alternative when you want to describe something moist (“Mmmmm, I love how this cake isn’t dry but also isn’t liquified!” What? No. It’s moist.)
But I still feel like there are other options here. “A burst of bright,” perhaps? Oooh, yeah, I like that. Let’s start using that instead. And before you know it, “burst of bright” will be in every fashion magazine known to woman and then I’ll hate it. So it goes.
P.S. Happy JULY!

Haha – isn’t it funny how certain phrases in fashion really start to grate on your nerves!? I love this outfit – those pants look so comfy!

Love this look I just bought the midi skirt that matches that top. I now feel like I need the top lol

I have the skirt too! I love them together and apart.
Ah! I have those pants as shorts, I LOVE them. I didn’t even know they came as pants until I saw them here. Too bad the only color in my size is “neon persimmon”, which does not suit me. I have the shorts in the same color as your pants – aren’t they awesome? Jealous you snagged them!!!
