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.

    I agree with Ms P – you are my bold-color idol as well! Love the tights with this look, and of course the heels, they are super-fabulous.

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

    • 31 January 2012 / 8:11 pm

      Thanks Cinderella – I think these are my favourite shoes (I must wear them more!!) Catherine x

    Nice color combinations and LOVE those shoes!!! The necklace is such an interesting piece too, and I'll bet those colors make it quite versatile.

    • 31 January 2012 / 8:05 pm

      Thank you so much, Pseu: Sandy (who makes the necklaces) will make them pretty much to your spec – you should check out her website, her pieces are beautiful! C x

    Wow, you are bold and brave! And totally pull it off. I love the blue and green together, and what fun to add the bright yellow bag – inspiration for me to go even farther with my brights next time!

    • 31 January 2012 / 8:03 pm

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