Neon, brights and leopard heels

My second day of rising to the Winter Edition Challenges – and when the challenge is brights I’m all over it like a (neon) rash!

Not much to say except that I’m sooo in my comfort zone – though this outfit was actually quite hard, more because I couldn’t make a final decision about which combination of items to put together when most of my clothes are day-glo bright anyway. (I was there all day trying out different looks – half the contents of my wardrobe were on the bed in a pile. Sound familiar to most of you…?)

Sometimes the easiest challenges can turn out to be the hardest – though by far the easiest decision was whether to add my (not worn enough) leopard heels 😉

    I don't think I'll ever get tired of seeing color-blocking! This is such a great look – I bet everyone who saw you wearing it was jealous that you had the guts to wear something wild and fun like this 🙂

    Well, hello, lovely Lady! I've seen you floating around at various link-ups and decided to check out your blog. I LOVE your eclectic with dash of quirky style! This outfit is so colorful and bright; kicks the wintery drab to the curb.

    This is so perfect. I love green and blue together but you made it even better with the neon and leopard. It's genius.

      Hi Anne, and thank you! Yes you should go all out with the brights, it can only make everyone smile! Catherine x
