Neutrals meet Neon



Yay! It’s a another Bloggers Do It Better challenge. When I first read about the challenge I had no clue as to what I was going to wear- I almost didn’t even participate. I wasn’t really sure what qualified as a neon color to be honest- I had to consult my post-it-note collection.

When I think neon I think scary 80’s MC Hammer pants- I had a traumatizing moment as a child wearing such pants. But when I started thinking of neon as just bright vibrant color and not calling it “neon” the challenge became much easier.

Just as I was confused with what qualified as a neon… I also wasn’t sure what qualifies as a neutral- hence the two different looks. In my opinion navy counts as a neutral but for the nay-sayers I opted to do a 2nd look with a more “traditional” neutral.

Enjoy.

I almost didn't participate either. I even had to email Kristina and ask her for her definition of neutral (I was going to do Black). I love how both your outfits look but the tan and orange, fits the bill here I think. Lovely pictures. Great legs!

The orange looks terrific and makes the neutral outfit fresh and fun. I never thought about it but black, navy, gray are all neutral. Thanks for giving us a 2-for-1 :)

I definitely love the look with the orange better (for this challenge). There's much more of a "pop" in the brights! Crushing on your purse.

Visiting you from the link up! Just read your sidebar about me.. don't get discouraged blogging. It happens to the best of us, and sometimes we just need a little pick me up or refresher. You're doing great! :)
