Dreary wet days like today beg for a jolt of happy color! Stash away your head to toe gray and black when the weather turns dismal and try the season’s hottest new neon shades that will definitely get you a second glance or two. I love mixing spring/summer’s popular colors with basics like white, khaki, and charcoal to tone down the overall effect and create an eye appealing look.
Look #1: Pink and black is always a good combo and made even better when it’s bright, bright, bright! I love the look of a sweetly tiered pencil skirt with a flowy whisper thin cotton tank tucked in and subtly bloused. Finish off your look with an ultra-fem stilletto pump. I like these from Bebe (on sale ladies!) since they are sky high and have added prettiness with an oversized bow!
Look #2: Orange is a great in-your-face color too and not worn very much. Juxtapose the second-skin dress with a bubble jacket (worn open with the collar popped) in a neutral shade to create a pseudo sporty look (also very IN right now!) Stick to a flesh-toned neutral shoe so as not to introduce any other colors, and show off mile long legs in a platform-slingback style like shown.
Look #3: Neon green is a fresh way to introduce bright into your reportoire! This more casual look is is subtly neon while remaining current. I would pair this positively perfectly polka-dotted sweater with black cigarrette pants, and a flat sandal – OR – with your favorite torn up denim rolled up, and a statement black gladiator sturdy sandal.
