Copy Cat Closet: Winter Neon

Yeah so neon is bold with a capital B. And very 80's. While I was born in 1983, I wasn't really into fashion during that decade. I did, of course, own a black & neon KNOTB sweater but that was the extent to my neon wardrobe.

Over the summer, I fell in love with Bedazzles After Dark Nikki's neon yellow satchel from Target. I didn't think I could pull off the bright neon so I opted for a shade dimmer in my fave color: blue. I toted it around pre-baby ya know when I actually carried a purse instead of a diaper bag. Again a slightly scarce neon closet.

Enter this week's challenge and my itch to shop 'til I drop in honor of turning 30 and voila:

I snagged this light-weight sweater on clearance from Target which goes perfectly with my skinny jeans. And I just wanted a bit more color to brighten up the grey skies around here so I bought these turquoise wedges as well. It is still too chilly to sport a light sweater so I added the winter cream blazer for warmth. I wore this little number to our January date. It was the perfect fit for comfy yet flirty.

Now I was sort of impressed with myself for finding a neon sweater...but I knew it wasn't the brightest of the brights. SO when I was in J.Crew and saw these neon pink Cece Leather ballet flats, I just HAD to have them. Paired them with a neutral palette per Ma Nouvelle Mode's tips & tricks to create this look for our neighbor's Superbowl party...
