Feel This Moment

I still don't know how much into this neon trend I'm buying...buuuuuuut if a sweater is $1.49 at Goodwill, I'm buying!

Lolz...bad pun.  Sorry.

One thing I'll say for neon, though: it's the perfect thing to brighten up a dreary day!  Especially a snowy day when you're hoping for spring...

PLEASE REMEMBER TO

...since they're taking GFC away from me soon

(and I want to keep you all around!

I love blogging for you guys!).

Anyway, this outfit is full of cool details.  Here's a couple detail shots:

Love my baaaaag of course. 
The cable-knitting on the sweater is so gorgeous,
and my necklace never lets me down when it comes to adding punch to an outfit!

These shoes (and craaaaaazy pants) have already been featured,
but they're just so awesome that they deserve more time in the spotlight!

Kinda random, but I also wanted to share my animal in the Chinese zodiac. 
I'm the dragon.  :) 
I'm still pleased as punch about that, same as when I learned about it in gradeschool.  I also love hearing about how healthy I am when it's my second week battling the same cold...haha.  Ohhh the irony.  (But in general I will admit that I am pretty healthy.)

What is your Chinese Zodiac animal?

Do you like that animal?

Is the description pretty accurate?

 

I wanted to share a couple shots from my self-photoshoot in my car...'cuz I'm really cool like that.

  Heh...I just wanted to share my awesome new magenta faux fur scarf!  Just a peek for now, but I'm sure you'll see more of it soon.


Annnnnd we'll end this post with an outtake: Mom caught me tugging my sweater down.  Really pretty.  :P 
But, hey, at least I got her to take my photos outside in a location NOT against the blue wall in my bedroom.

The Simple Things (subtitled: Neon Me)

Every so often that illustrious day comes around: that summer afternoon when you allow yourself the luxury of wearing just a simple, comfy tee and shorts.  What makes that kind of day even better?  When your shorts are neon and fabulous!!!  :)

Neon was HUGE this Spring, but I never figured myself a really "neon" kind of person.  And I staunchly declare this to be a "style" blog, not a "fashion" blog (I don't have the money to keep up with trends; plus, why ignore your personal style/opinions just to wear what you're "supposed" to wear?).  Buuuut when "fashion" can be found at your local Goodwill for $2.00, how can any self-respecting dresser say 'no?'
Plus, it gave me a means to finally style these blue lace-up wedges I found awhile ago at H&M.

Speaking of H&M, that's also where I found those fantastic sunglasses.  Here is a detail shot of my sunnies and bracelet:

All-in-all, though I thought I wasn't a "neon" type of gal, I was quite pleased with my purchase of these shorts, and had fun with the styling thereof.  Lesson learned:

Your personal style (in fact, your personality, I believe) is bigger and more expansive than you even think it is; experiment with fashion fads! 
Never be afraid to surprise yourself.
