For those new to my site, every once in a while, I like to share my outfits, as I like to look at the pleated poppy’s site on Wednesdays to see what outfits others are sharing. I’m trying to “shop by closet” more and I get ideas there! To see my past fashion posts, head here.
A few months ago I was not a fan of the NEON trend. I told myself I wasn’t going to get into that (similar to the Santa Fe trend), but somehow I found myself buying florescent orange shoes, and I haven’t looked back! In general, I am trying hard not to buy myself new clothes. I’ve had a fun year of buying smaller sizes since my weight loss, and it seemed more of a NEED (2 pants sizes smaller=need), but since I’ve stockpiled items in my new size, it’s now more of a luxury. I’m trying to save my extra pennies for the home projects I’ve set out to accomplish.
In having a pair of NEON orange shoes, I have had to really think about what they “go” with. I wish it were effortless, but it’s not! I didn’t want to wear neon orange shoes with neon orange shirt, but thought it would pair well with another neon shade. I was excited when I saw the neon pink and white striped top at Forever 21, so grabbed it. I also love my new arrow necklace from Designs by Tiffany and Pink sunglasses from Wal Mart. I had a fun little mini shoot with my 7 year old daughter as my photog;)
The shirt below I got from the Printed Palette via the Queen Bee Market. I love it so much! What is it about anchors lately that I’m obsessed with?
Have you embraced the NEON trend? What about an obsession with arrows or anchors like me?

Ha! I love how it says it wears you down! I’ve seen your neon jewelry tutorials–so fun!!
i love neon… i don’t really have anything but i sure love buying it for the daughter and grandbabies. you my dear are rocking the neon.
Girlfriend–get yourself something! Star with something simple like earrings or a necklace–i just started with the shoes! I actually haven’t bought any for my daughter yet, her wardrobe is crazy excessive, so I try to hold back. At least I can wear mine forever, she grows out of it next month! Oh, baby neon, I need to see that!
Too cute! Neon is growing on me also. I wasn’t sure if I was “young” enough to pull it off but once I bought my neon yellow sweater I was a believer.
I LOVE my neon new balance running shoes. Wearing those bright colors while I work out just makes it that much more fun!
I really enjoy your What I Wore section of your blog! It gives me great ideas on how to wear the clothes I have in a different way.
I’m so glad to hear that you enjoy the what I wore stuff…sometimes I wonder if people think it’s too silly (I’m sure some do). I forgot I also have neon workout shoes, and yes, it does give me a little pep in my step!!
Super cute baseball shirt!!
I haven’t ventured into neon quite yet, but when I see something that catches my eye I will get it for sure
