As promised in my previous  post, here are a few Neon inspired looks for daytime, the office and going out on the town.

Most of these looks are very BOLD and take the neon trend head on (Go bold or go home!!! ;)) however keep in mind that if you want to incorporate neon in more of a subtle way you can use neon items to compliment your look (eg. belts, bags, shoes).

These looks incorporate two big trends for this Season: Neon & Colorblocking.

How do you plan on incorporating neon into your wardrobe??

Daytime Neon

 

It seems like it was all about the prints this weekend. We have Solange Knowles, Tichina Arnold, Leona Lewis, Tocarra, and Tika Sumpter all in prints. We have printed dresses, pants, and jackets.

Who rocked your favorite look? Obviously my vote goes to Solange.

So if you are reading this, I am probably on a plane or just getting off of a plane in San Juan, Puerto Rico. This is the annual “Girls Trip” that my friends and I have been taking since our senior year of college. I always look forward to this time of the year because we all are professionals and some of us live in different states, and this is the one time that we set aside to just catch up and hang out.

Since I will be traveling, I decided to do a “What to Wear” post.

When traveling, comfort should be key. So avoid the following

  • Extremely tight clothing
  • Extremely high heels, just in case you’re late and you have to run to catch your flight
  • Extremely revealing clothing- you don’t want to continuously pull up your blouse because it is too low cut and all of the TSA agents are looking at you

When traveling please do not look like you rolled out of bed

  • Pajamas-that’s just tacky
  • Extremely and oversized large sweat shirts (even if it is your favorite)
  • Slippers

Here are a few suggestions of what to wear for a more polished look

  • Comfortable shoes- sometimes the lines can be extremely long so wear something that you can stand in for a long period of time
  • Shoes that are easy to slip on and off- In the summer,  I always wear a cute sandal that does not need to be tied, fastened or buckled. Ballet flats are great also
  • Pashmina or cardigan- airports and planes are extremely cold, well to me at least, so instead of wearing that oversized t-shirt or sweat shirt carry a cardigan, blazer, and/or pashmina to keep you chic and warm
  • Sunnies are a must. They add a sense of mystery to the entire look. If you have an early flight like me, they also hide those tired eyes.
  • Don’t forget the carry on. Grab a chic weekender bag and you are ready to go
  • I try not to wear jeans because I hate taking my belt off and putting it back on. So I always wear dresses or pants that do not require a belt. I have these great linen pants with a cloth belt attached that are airport friendly

The key is to always look polished! Hey based on what you are wearing you may get a seat in first class…you never know 🙂

I will be back next week so visit the archives and check out a few old posts 🙂

Remeber her? Winner of X-Factor? Amazing voice? One of the few real singers we have today? Well apparently she wanted to take a 180 turn and switch up her look. This is what she used to look like. Now look at her now
