Wishlist Wednesday: Neons and Stripes

Hey, have you heard that neons were a big trend this spring?  I thought you might have.  At first I wasn't on board at all (too many bad 80s flashbacks for me), but this trend has gotten in my head a little.  I'm still not big on entire neon looks, especially because they are so very un-work-friendly, and especially not paired with black (Saved by the Bell alert!) but smaller pieces are much easier to work into a look.  I definitely wouldn't invest in anything major, but I did pick up one little neon accessory that I was excited to wear this week, and I was even more excited to pair it with my other favorite spring trend, pastels!  Since I'm not fully invested in the neon trend, I decided to pair this Wishlist Wednesday item with one of my absolute favorite styles that will always be in style - stripes.

I have no idea why the waist on my skirt gapped like that - it's really not that big! 

 

I'm Wearing

Victoria's Secret white blazer (via MJR Sales) - $15 (similar, similar options at MJR sales)

(ps - just realized I was leaving the prices off my vacation outfit photos,

so I'll go back and edit those shortly)

H&M white striped short-sleeve t-shirt - $6

J. Crew neon pink chain link necklace - $11 (really similar, similar, similar)

Michael Kors rose gold watch - gift

Banana Republic pink pleated skirt - $4, thrifted

American Eagle leopard print flats - old, $10ish (similar)

The leopard flats were actually my husband's idea, although to be more specific, he actually suggested "some kind of animal print that has black in it."  Since I wore this skirt with snow-leopard heels last time, I decided to try the regular leopard in this look.  Plus my feet have been killing me lately, so I've been making it an all-flats week, so the pumps were out.  I think I kind of like these with this outfit!  Also, I know I've already talked about how much I love white blazers (see this blazer in other looks here, here, and in my guest post here), but let me just say it again: white blazers are the shit, especially in the warmer months when the thought of dark suit separates makes me sad.

How about you - are you/were you into neons this spring?  How would you wear neon for work?
