Neons for Work (EBEW)

I have to admit that I was completely unprepared for this month's Everybody, Everywear challenge because I have been like a chicken with my head cut off since returning from vacation.  Sadly, that means I wasn't able to come up with many neon-related puns like I did last time.  But just for good measure, here is literally the only joke I could come up with for this month's neon challenge: What did the chemist do when he cut his leg?  He put is neon the table so he could bandage it up.  Oh, har har, that was so funny I had to slap my neon that one!  Yikes.  Moving right along.

As I painfully mentioned, this month's challenge is neon, which I recently kind of started to appreciate even though it's not my favorite look of all time, probably because it's difficult to style it for work without looking like your "work" is of questionable legality.  I also love looking at blogger pics of neon maxi skirts flowing in the breeze, but that's not quite practical for my office, so I needed to come up with something a little more realistic.  I decided to go with a toned down neon peach top combined with a neon yellow belt paired with a healthy dose of standard navy to tone it all down.

Don't worry, I don't actually wear the shades at work (just at night...), but it was ridiculously bright out this morning.  Yes, this morning - I told you I was unprepared for this!

 

 

And because I also have a presentation today, I threw on a gray blazer while running out of the house.
