Neon + Neutral

by Kristina on June 13, 2011 · 52 comments

in The Bloggers Do It Better, The Outfit

Shirt: Ann Taylor | Skirt: Zara | Shoes: Jeffrey Campbell | Bow: Eugenia Kim | Bag: THEIT | Necklaces: Ann Taylor & Marc by Marc Jacobs | Watch: Michael Kors | Lipstick: NARS Pure Matte in ‘Carthage’

This outfit is yet another reminder of how lucky I am to be running this blog. Why? Because until I challenged myself and fellow bloggers to tryout the Neon + Neutral trend, I would have never dreamed up this outfit. And I love it.

It’s comfortable, easy, but chic enough to wear anywhere. While I suspect I’ll be repeating this outfit many more places in the future, this night I wore it to a dinner & movie date with HB. We had amazing drinks and tapas at a local favorite tapas bar we frequent called Oporto, and then saw “Hangover 2″. Well, HB saw most of it. I fell asleep. Two months of a surgery rotation will do that to ya.

This lipstick is my new favorite – it’s the hot pink seen on the model’s lips in this post, but it’s matte so it’s very unexpected and not as “look at me”, in a way.

    You look fantastic in the hot pink hue! And the bow is like the cherry on top of a super chic outfit.

    Pretty! The neon and (edgy) wedges paired with neutral and your classic styling makes this look totally fresh and fun. It's ladylike with a twist.

    I like the skirt but that is it I'm afraid. Don't think the wedges are very flattering…

  • http://www.modlychic.com Katy

    This post is making me think I need to re-think what I have in my closet and see if I can pull off something similar. I'm loving the way you pair the nude-colored top with the amazingly pink skirt! With a number of FBFF bloggers excited about this next fashion challenge it will be interesting to see all the ways they recreate this trend! – Katy

    I would have never thought to combine these two. It works!

    I cant wait to try to challenge myself and mix the two together.
