Color Blocking: Something old, something new and something blue

COLORBLOCKINGPIC
Top: Banana Republic factory- size XXSP (similar here and here)
Skirt: Forever 21 hot pink pencil skirt- size XS (similar here and here)
Belt: Ann Taylor Limelight Skinny Belt- size XS (similar here and here)
Shoes: Christian Louboutin Simple 100- size 35/5 (buy here)

Alas, I have officially joined the color blocking trend! A year ago, I would have NEVER thought to wear these colors together!!! I actually wore this to work today and got tons of compliments. No one is used to seeing me in such vibrant colors:)
In case your wondering, the title of this post, "something old, something new and something blue"- the skirt is super old, the new is my beloved Louboutin's (early b-day gift) I have been coveting them since I got the black simple 100's last August. And the something blue is clearly my shirt. Just thought I would explain it!
I am super excited for this weekend! I get to see my parent's who are coming in from the Midwest. My birthday will be extra special this year because I get to spend it with them. Being the baby of the family, it's hard to be so far away so  I am super happy to see them!

Here is how to recreate this look: (click on each image to shop)

I hope everyone has a fabulous weekend!

What do you think about these colors? Do they work together?
