It was a mild winter’s day the last time I wore this dress, so I layered it up and threw on thick tights and ankle boots.  This time around, the temps were in the high 70s, so I got to go bare-limbed (YAY!).  The scarf was an after-thought, and I didn’t realize until I was uploading these pics how much my outfit resembled my old girl scout’s uniform.

Just a few silly pics from last weekend.  The most noteworthy part of this outfit (to me, at least) is the tiny little purse I’m carrying.  I’m a culprit of lugging around huge handbags all. the. time.  So it was pretty liberating (and a slightly panic-inducing) for me to leave the house with just this little guy.

I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first caught wind of the neon trend.  Granted I was just a wee babe in the 80s, but I still have flashbacks of poison green spandex that send chills up my spine.  As it turns out, I had no need to fret.  I think the key to pulling off this look without blinding my fellow pedestrians on the street is to keep things subtle… well, as subtle as a pair of neon yellow sandals can be!  But seriously, I find that just playing around with a few neon touches, like a hot pink watch strap or an electric blue top, is a fun way to spice things up.
