Neutrals & Neon

I know that neon is no longer on trend, but I still like wearing it.  It's just the thing to brighten up a neutral winter outfit:

I mean, yes, I could have worn a black scarf with this, but that would have been so boring.  On trend, perhaps, but boring.

One thing you can say about neon, it's definitely not boring:

Even in little pops like a scarf or earrings, neon is just fun to wear.  I admit that I am a little bit biased due to my love of the 80s.  But, really, neon is fun:

And so are capes:

Cape: sold out eShakti (similar)  Scarf: v. old (similar)
Jeans: v. old Gap  Earrings: Kate Spade New York

And of course, one doesn't wear neon or a cape without being visible, so I'm linking up with Patti today.


Happy Visible Monday, All!

Fuzzy and Plaid

My vintage coat is both fuzzy and plaid:

Coat: thrifted, vintage (similar splurge) (similar save)
Dress: Land's End   Boots: Piperlime (similar)

That's right.  Fuzzy and plaid.


It's basically the best of both worlds:

Earrings: Moorea Seal

I found it on one of my trips to Goodwill in Oregon and knew I had to have it.  I mean, honestly, who can resist fuzzy and plaid?

Not this gal, that's for sure.


Happy Monday, All!

Summer Floral

Although it's not quite summer yet, I feel like this dress is more of a summer floral than a spring floral:

In my mind, a spring floral involves softer colors, like pastels, and a softer application of those colors.

The colors of this dress are bright and loud and just the way that I like them:

Bees are also more summer than spring and I accessorized this dress with a bee brooch as a necklace:

Bees and flowers; yes, I am doing some of my most subtle work here.

And I'm taking that subtle work to Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday!

Happy Monday, All!

Monday, Shiny Monday

I'm having a very shiny Monday:

Between my "glitter grunge" sweatshirt and my velvet scarf, it's just shiny, shiny, shiny.

Not that I mind.  Being shiny on a Monday definitely cheers me more than being dull and drab.

Shirt: Gap, similar  Scarf: thrifted  Jeans:JCP   Boots: Born Crown, similar

And, I'm not just shiny, I'm pretty visible in this outfit, so I'm linking up with Patti at Not Dead Yet Style for Visible Monday.

How is your Monday, Reader Friends?

SIA: The Woman And Her Chair

This is the painting Salazar, of 14 Shades of Grey, chose for today's SIA Challenge:

Cecelia Beaux "After the Meeting"

And this is what I wore:

Yes, that's right, I am dressed as both the woman and her chair.

When I first saw this painting on 14 Shades of Grey, I was immediately drawn to the mix of the floral on the chair and the stripes on the woman.  I also love the the rich warm tones of the painting and wanted to incorporate all of those things into my outfit.

The result is a mix of stripes (Target shirt, Vince Camuto skirt), floral (handmade vintage coat-dress-thingy) and leopard (Nine West):

Yes, I know there is no leopard in the painting, but I'm pretty sure that woman sitting on that chair would have some leopard in her life.  She's seems like a bit of a bad-ass like that.

For more inspired looks, pop by Salazar's and take a gander!

And have a Happy Tuesday, All!

Oooh, I almost forgot.  I'm linking up to Visible Monday over at Not Dead Yet Style because I felt highly visible in this mix of prints and awesomeness.

Fully On Board

I love pleats and I love peach and coral together so obviously I'm fully on board with this look:

I also love pairing my lace necklace with more lace.  So, once again, 100% on board:

And finally, I love remembering to link to up Visible Monday's over at Not Dead Yet Style.  Done and done.

Happy Monday, All!
