Neon + Stripes

August 8, 2012

I had forgotten about these pictures. They were actually taken about two months ago when blogging was still just something I wanted to start, time flies here in blogland! Also, don’t be confused by my overgrown highlights, Im not trying out the ombre look, I guess I just needed to visit the salon. Drats…
::Dress Target (here), Belt Forever21, Jewelry Francescas, Target, Macys, David Yurman, Banana Republic, Shoes Madden Girl (similar), Purse Michael Kors  (here)
I actually grabed this dress off the rack at Target simply because I needed some neon in my life (its a bit more neon than it photographed). I didn’t think I would like it due to the whole high-low look, but surprisingly it look decent enough to purchase. Lesson in life: when in doubt, try it on! You’re welcome for that amazing tip that will probably save you from missing out on a great dress in the future.
What do you think, neon a go or no? What about the high/low trend?

Also- don’t forget to follow me on pinterest here, Bloglovin’, Facebook here and instagram @amy_cbandbp. Just go social media crazy on me!

    Great outfit! I'm really loving the neon stripes and the asymmetrical hem. I just bought a shirt this past weekend with that type of hem. You've inspired me to go find a dress now. I think you and I are around the same height and this dress makes you look taller. I need all the help I can get!
