Pink & Orange: Clashing Color-Blocking Revisited

A few months ago, I did a post on clashing color-blocking which included a segment on pink & red, and on orange & purple. Today, I'm revisiting that post! It's starting to get warmer out in Baltimore and with warm weather comes bright colors (at least in my book!)

I'm really into pink & orange. 

Here are some ways I've seen the colors styled by other bloggers, celebs, and in editorial shoots:

As you can see, the colors are really versatile when paired together -- a lot more than I actually realized before looking into creating this post. You can add in other colors-- white, black, green, beige-- and it all seems to match even though the orange and pink are on the verge of clashing.

Here's how I got Jessed up:

So for my outfit, the color-blocking happens on its own. The pleated skirt boasts both of the focal colors, making putting this look together extremely easy! I decided to go with black on the top and bottom, and added a statement necklace with golds and greens.

Side note: Because I like this outfit, kind of annoyed I didn't get an actual pic taken from someone else. Mirror shot will have to suffice.

What do you think? Would you wear this outfit, or pink & orange together?
