It's gloomy and rainy today so I busted out some bright colors! I like the adjacent-color coral and fever pink -- what do you all think?

Fever pink skirt: Halogen
Coral silk blouse: Nexx
Gray blazer: Halogen
Gray tights and belt: Target
Gray pumps: Madden Girl
White satchel: Banana Republic

Thanks for looking!!

Wow, I didn't think I would like this, but I think it works! I like it with the grey tights, belt and blazer. It really highlights the skirt and blouse.

You make it look like sunshine every day. This is a fab outfit! It's great with the jacket.

Mary, this is truly fab. Those zowie colors are like a happy slap in the face, and then the grey jacket and hose provide a comfortable place for the eyes to rest.

You took me back to the 70s when I extended my basic 64-crayon box with an "extra" pack of fluorescent crayons. I loved juxtaposing the pinkish one and the orange-ish one. Sometimes I accented with silver, brown, or sky blue. Should have tried grey too!

Now that I've seen you on this dreary day, I feel like the sun came out.

I love how you try to counterpoint the weather. It looks fantastic.

Happiness on a dreary day! Love how the neutrals keep the coral in check. You look amazing...and have just the best legs around!

You look beautiful in these bright colors - and I love to do that too (wear brights on gray days). I think mixing it with the gray is a wonderful idea.

I love the vibrant colors in the forefront with gray in a supporting role. The white handbag is divine with this combo. Very very nice.

I thought you were wearing a dress, I didn't realize you had on separates. The colors look the same on my screen. I do luv them with the grey. YLF!

Stay dry. Does your umbrella color coordinate with your outfit as well?

What a lovely combo, YLF!

The coral and fever pink look the same color on my monitor, but very fab and perfect for a grey day. I'd like to see this with nude stockings or nude micro fishnets for an even more springy look.

Ravishing and quite different! Dark hose and shoes with brights for Spring, and you are rocking it!

Now you know why I need to wear brights in Seattle. It cheers me up on a grey day.

Now that's a high voltage color combination to live up to your high voltage smile! I love this with the grey, and that jacket just whittles you down to nothing!

MaryK, this is classic YOU, in my mind. You wear color like no one else. (Fever pink? What a great name!) I wish the monitor could do it justice, because on my screen they do blend together a bit. I love the gray belt, tights, jacket, and shoes--and the cream bag--ahhhh! You know exactly how much to go for and where to stop. Super fab look on you!

I love this color combination on you! You look beautiful!
