As I said on instagram when I posted this outfit, "Maybe if you wear it, Fall will come" {quick.. what modified movie line?} I've only said the next phrase like 100 times, but I am beyond ready for fall to be here already! So now I figure, maybe if I just wear fall clothes, then it will choose to follow suit (yeah right... dream on!) Oh well.. at least when I was in the elevator in my building, a sweet woman told me how much she loved my black and pink together. Nikki tested, chic lady approved! :)

 

After officially adding the leather skater skirt to my fall wish list, I was super pumped when I ordered it at the beginning of August. And boy, was it a trial and a half trying to get it delivered. But I'm thankful that it finally arrived on my doorstep because it's most definitely going to be a fall favorite. Definitely one of those pieces that will transition from season to season - so get your hands on one ASAP! 

 

Today I'm teaming up with Laura from Walking in Memphis in High Heels to prove that neon isn't going anywhere! I love Laura's blog - she's always wearing super chic outfits that are definitely style inspiring. Laura's got the perfect combo of girly yet wearable down pat. Plus, her hair is gorgeous - like the most perfect curls.

 

 

Seriously wish I could get mine to be like that! I laughed when we sent each other pictures of our looks for this neon collab. It's the same outfit idea but we each put our own spin on it - and I swear we didn't even plan it that way! :) So make sure you check her blog out!

 

Are you as ready for fall as I am?!

Copy Cat Closet: Winter Neon

 

When Natalia from Ma Nouvelle Mode contacted me a few weeks ago to host a Copy Cat Closet linkup, I was ecstatic!! If you haven't heard of CCC before, you've got to join in on the fun! So each Thursday a challenge is sent out with something specific to try to copy. Then the following Wednesday you come back to Natalia or Kelley and link up your outfit! (p.s. you don't have to be a blogger to do this! Just link up an instagram photo or a link with a photo of yourself in your look!)

 

It's so awesome to be challenged each week and it really forces me to shop my closet too! When she said I got to pick the challenge I knew immediately what I wanted to do. Yep you guessed it - Neon! So here are two looks I put together specifically for the challenge:

 

 

 

1st Look:

Neon Pink Tee: Gap (old)

Jeans: Express (old)

Leopard Loafers: Target

Scarf: Zara

Watch: Caravelle by Bulova c/o LuckyFABB

 

2nd Look:

Neon Yellow Blazer: Zara (old - similar)

Dress: Express (old)

Knuckle Clutch: Arbonne "Comet Cosmetic"

Booties: Jessica Simpson (old)

 

Obviously you guys know I'm obsessed with neon. So this wasn't too difficult for me. I just paired both my neons with neutrals or basics so that they'd be the stand out piece. I love dressing down this blazer (wore it with cutoffs here) but it's a super fun going out option as well. Pairing it with a LBD was perfect. Also, neon pink & leopard are totally considered neutrals in my wardrobe (I should be embarrassed how many of each I have... but I'm not!) I wore that look during a casual shopping trip at the promenade last week. For more neon winter outfits I've recently worn see this & this

 

So if you want to link up your outfit - please do so below! I seriously can't wait to see what you ladies do! I have some tips for wearing neon too: 

• If you’re a bit nervous about venturing into Neon… start small! An accessory like a bag or a belt is always easy and something anyone can try.
• Pick neon colors that you love. I’m obsessed with pink in general so I tend to always be attracted towards oranges, pinks & yellows. If you don’t love the color you won’t love your outfit!
• Stick to a neutral palette for the rest of your look. Nude shoes, white tees, chambray shirts & boyfriend jeans are always a great companion to neon.
• Don’t be scared! I rocked 2 neons together and got SO many compliments. The #1 rule when wearing neon – be confident and smile! People will love your outfit if they know you love it!
