Here Comes The Sun


What I'm Wearing:
Neon Roll-Sleeve Blouse - Old Navy (similar style here)
Neon 80s Abstract Mini Skirt - Forever 21
Black Studded Tote - Primark UK
Etienne Aigner Coral Vision Wedges - Marshalls

Oh neon... how I love thee. Let me count the shirts in my closet...

This year, I've really done my best to expand my wardrobe in terms of colors or prints I might not usually pick. My strategy is simple: keep an open mind, and perhaps try garments that I think might look strange on the hanger. Turns out the theory is proving to be successful. I've been using to find new wardrobe options and the results: sometimes things look better on YOU than on the hanger.





Accessories:
Rings - my own
Necklace - ?
Polished Brass Bangle - J. Crew
Gold Chain Bangle - Forever 21
Hammered Geometric Neon Pink Bracelet - Charming Charlie

Take neons for example. Obnoxious? Maybe, but they are great investment pieces. My shirt, from Old Navy, can be worn during multiple seasons due to the roll-tab sleeves, to work or for a night out... and can transition into my winter wardrobe during those blah weather moments.

This is not the last you'll see of these neon colors revived from the 80s. Now that I think of it - this is rather age appropriate being that I'm a child of the 80s.

Watch This - Day 11: 30-Day No Shopping Challenge

Day 11
Today's urge to shop is huge. I've been doing a good job of limiting my online browsing, but with the warm temperatures brings a need for new everything. I'm totally aggravated, and the idea of just giving in to the urge to use some plastic is heavy on my mind.

One of the possessions I'm coveting the most is a watch. With all the neons and vibrants hitting everything in fashion, I'd love to incorporate a little time keeping into my wardrobe.

Happiness Investment Alert: Much like a handbag, a good timepiece will last you a lifetime. You'll be able to wear it anytime of year, it'll go with pretty much everything in your closet, and looks great piled up with bangles and bracelets surrounding it.

Father Time rules.... and so do these watches!
