SPRING NEONS. COLOR YOUR WARDROBE

 

Spring is finally knocking on our doors.  Waking up to the bright sunshine, budding flowers, green trees and open swimming pools is becoming a typical morning.  Along with Nature’s beautiful trimmings, what about Fashion’s beautiful trimmings. Accessorizing has become so fun this spring with the reintroduction of neon shades in everything.  I’ve been finding a use for my highlighter yellow skinny belt, and hot pink Dolce Vita Stella Sandals almost every day; but for those of you who are just getting into the trend, here’s an easy guide to all that neons in the way of handbags to get you into the groove.

A little bit of this & a lot a bit of that

The holidays are among us and I am so excited.  Not only is it the season for peppermint chocolate M&M’s, Coffee Creamer, Mochas, Hot chocolate, garlands and mistletoe, but it’s also the season when fashion offenders come out to play.  

That’s right! I’m talking the holiday parties, kids’ get-togethers, Ugly sweater party-goers, Grandmother’s knitted scarves, tacky patterns, and my ultimate favorite: The Sequin Brigade!

Regardless the color, style, shape, or garment type, it seems that people love to pull out those sequins for the wintery season in all of the worst ways. In an effort to save you from any humiliation, here’s my guide to all that glitters. Put together by yours truly, so that you don’t have a silly little mishap during the holiday festivities.  

Brooke Sequin Dress | $68.00

Nikki Sequin Dress | $88.00 

Derora Sequin Dress | $88.00

Luxor Sequin Dress | $58.00

Leopard. Hi, We can be friends now. Thanks Evil Twin.

I’ve always been a bit skeptical when it comes to animal prints.  As of late, I’ve warmed up to the trend quite a bit; adding bits and pieces of leopard into outfits as a accessory piece.  These select items by Evil Twin have made me want to vamp up my wardrobe with even more leopard.  Here’s a few of my favorites:

 

This fabulous oversized cardigan priced at $110.00.  Do it alone, or with a belt to add a few extra curves to your outfit. 

Mesh Leopard shorts priced at $58.00- try them alone with an oversized tunic style blouse or underneath denim destroyed shorts of any shade.  

This oversized two-toned block top caught my eye.  What a fun little surprise to what looks like a plain t in front.  Party in the back. Priced at $88.

All items are available now at nastygal.com

Top each of these off with my favorite platform boot of the season by Sam Edelman, the Zoe boot. Priced at $198.

MOST WANTED: Navajo Cutout Dress

WHY? 

This dress has all the right cuts and hits all the right spots for a perfect layering combo outfit in this chilly season. Gives the perfect amount of warmth in the front, and just the right amount of sex appeal with an open cut out back. (Perfect for a transition day to evening outfit) It runs true to size and is 100% Acrylic.  The write up says it’s olive, but look at how many neutrals are in this native american inspired pattern.  Priced at $68, this isn’t going to be on the market for long.   

Pair it with this chunky knit infinity scarf, Skinny belt, solid pantyhose, platform booties and you’ve got your accessories down.
