Neon in the Fall






 Canton sunnies//Forever 21 Jacket and sweater// Target scarf// Charlotte Russe pencil skirt// Zara heels



Good morning!

Everyone say it with me, the week is halfway over! Hallelujah!

Not that I hate my job or anything, it's just that I'm not really a fan of 6:30 AM. It's dark and it's depressing and frankly, I don't think ANYONE looks good in that lighting. 

But I digress.

Let's talk about this outfit shall we? I've hopped on the neon bandwagon and I have no intention of jumping off just because the leaves are falling. I'm all about stretching a wardrobe so I usually steer clear of seasonal trends, besides the obvious ones like sandals for summer and coats for winter. 

So when I came across this cute little neon sweater, I snatched that puppy up ($12!). It's a perfect layering piece because it's super thin and soft, but it's not sheer which means I'm not dying of a heat stroke when we have days like we've been having: 60's in the morning with a rise into the upper 80's for the afternoon. That kind of weather is stripping weather my friend. You layer on the clothing to make it through the morning, then you strip in the afternoon to deal with the heat. 

The scarf adds to the brightness, while the jacket gives it a bit of a rebel feel,  and VOILA! I've got a perfect transitional outfit.

and yes, my hand is laying on dried bird poop. Oh you hadn't noticed? Then let's go back to not noticing.

Thanks.
