Monochromatic Brights


I was strolling through my office building when the woman stopped me. She's from another department; I don't know her all that well, but we're friendly. "Girl," she says, giving me the once over, "You're brave." Do you think she was talking about some career-related prowess, or was she referring to my retina-searing ensemble? I'm gonna take one guess...

(P.S. I'm no stranger to neon green. See another blinding outfit here...!)

    1. Thank you! I love these earrings. I got them when I was visiting a good friend in North Carolina. We were in Toots & Magoo - this adorable shop in Chapel Hill, and Mr. TBF actually held these up and said, "You should get these." he was right!

    1. I'm kind of committed to brights, aren't I? It's funny, I was looking at my Pinterest Board the other day (http://pinterest.com/bosfashionista/j-adore-this-style/) and yeah, there's some brights on there for sure, but there are a lot of neutrals, too. Clearly, I love the look, but I'm just not wearing it a lot. Maybe b/c it's summer, which seems like a bright color sort of season? I wonder if I'll be more neutral-inspired when I'm getting dressed in September..?

  5. I love this! I'm all for doing neons in a big way. Your outfit looks like Mt Dew (thats a compliment, fyi! I'm a Dew addict slowly trying to ween myself off!)

    1. "Your outfit looks like Mountain Dew (that's a compliment)". This, hands down, is the best comment I think I have ever received on TBF!

    1. I'm telling you, Sami from A Glimpse of Glam is the one with all the wisdom about pulling off questionable outfits. She says "You have to OWN IT." And she's so right.

  7. Just stumbled on your blog and first I have to say that is absolutely fantastic that you provide links to similar looks!

    You really pulled off this look and the clutch makes it everything! These shades of lime really work with your complexion.
