A big trend for Spring and Summer is pairing brights with brights, and I love to mix colors, but sometimes it’s nice to pair a bright with a neutral for a more sophisticated look. So, I paired my bright lime chiffon blouse with a tan fitted skirt, and accessorized with neutral toned shoes and clutch. I added a little texture and fun with a snakeskin printed belt that has bright yellow stitching (I finally found an outfit for it!). If you want to experiment with wearing color, this is a good way to start. Just pair a bright with a neutral like tan, beige, or cream for an easy, fresh look.
Shirt: BCBG (similar here)/ Skirt: BCBG/ Belt: BCBG (old collection, but similar here)/ Shoes: Ninewest ( I love these and these)/ Clutch: Bottega (old collection)/ Watch: Michael Kors/ Sunglasses: Dior
What do you think of my bright and neutral look? Would you try it?
Oh, and there are still 5 more days until I pick my giveaway winner! If you haven’t entered yet, you can do so here.

Catherine on June 7, 2012 at 1:04 am:So gorgeous! I love the neon trend (and will definitely be wearing my neon pieces for years) but pairing them with neutrals is fun too! It’s also a bit easier way to wear neon to work – sometimes I have to tone down my color mixing *just* a little!
