OOTDS Featuring my new Phillip Lim for Target Handbags

Here are some OOTDs from the past week:

SUNDAY OOTD: My favorite color palette to wear is probably black and white but i really like how the pop of color from the necklace adds dimension and interest to the outfit. The shirt says "More Issues Than Vogue" and I bought it from an ebayer that is located in the UK. I purchased a small but its still very big on me, so I had to fold shirt inwards and tuck it in from the back.

ACCESSORIES: Phillip Lim for Target Satchel / floral motif ring, watch, necklace-East Urban / Heeled Sandals-Tobi

Shirt-ebay / jacket & jeans-forever 21

FRIDAY'S OOTD: 

I attended the OneRepublic concert on Friday and it was aamazing! I kept the outfit comfortable and easy by wearing a loose blouse and stretchy jeans while maintaining a polished look by adding my favorite tassel necklace and pumps.

Color Pairing: Neon + Neutrals

The neon trend has been around for a couple of years now and at first I was not a fan. Not only did I find it hard to style, I thought the bright colors just stood out like a sore thumb and were cheesy. However, after browsing through tumblr and spotting all the neon pieces on street style, I am now, truly a fan. I think the trend is fun to style and high end designers found a way to make them look so luxurious. 

My favorite way to wear the trend is by pairing it with neutrals.

APPROACHES:

1. SUBTLE: Wear a bright lipstick on your lips or nails can be just as much of a statement
2. TRENDY: Bring life to a monochromatic look by completing it with neon accessories
3. STATEMENT: take a bold approach and make neon the focus point of your outfit. Color-block two neon colors for an even more daring look. Tone it down with neutral accessories.


I hope this post gave you some ideas or inspiration.

Until next time,
