I remember when neon’s came on the scene last spring that I was iffy. I liked the idea of them I just didn’t quite know how to work with them yet. Sometimes it takes me a season to make sense of trends. Which is why I’m glad it’s still around this season — mainly for the sake of this clutch I found at Target. This might be the best fake leather I’ve ever seen. Mad props to whatever scientist figured that one out.
I waited this blazer out at J.Crew. Meaning I stalked this blazer until it went on sale. I was in love with it the minute I saw it (I mean, flowers in a blazer. Was this made for me or what?) but it was just out of my price range. As soon as it went on mark-down, I waited a week and then it went on sale even more. Patience is a virtue, my friends. Especially when it brings you floral blazers.

I could not agree with you more! Last year when I started seeing neons I was like eh, but this year I can’t get enough! I think the trick is wearing them correctly because if not then they can look tacky. You look like you’ve mastered it, I love this outfit!

It takes me so long to make sense of trends as well, especially because my personal style is very well define and sometimes I am not too thrilled if I have to out of my comfort zone, don’t know if that’s good or bad. I do love how you paired this blazer with neon, would’ve never thought of it. Perfect touch.

That blazer is gorgeous! I’m so jealous you got your hands on it. I love all the Liberty at J.Crew pieces. The jeans in the same print as your blazer are next on my list.

nailed it! love how many colors you worked into this look, can’t wait for spring weather here in VA!
I love all those Liberty London prints at J. Crew. But yeah they are for fancy rich people. I mean it’s like $150 for a damn shirt. But a really pretty damn shirt. I am impressed with your sale stalking skills (say that 5 times fast)!

I did the same thing with the blazer. I was instantly in love with it but knew it would go on sale quick so I waited it out. I love how you paired it with the neon top. Adorable! Love your blog. XO!

I love all the little pops in this outfit! The shoes, the clutch. Lovely! And good job scoring that blazer. You have much more patience than I do!
Those pink nails are rather ladylike, Kendi. đŸ™‚
You look wonderful, and the blazer is really lovely. Props for getting it on sale!
What a great clutch. The blazer is great, your waiting did pay off.
Love the blazer and sounds like you got it for a good deal! The details are so pretty.

I’ve been thinking about buying those jeans for months… but seeing how you rock them has made my decision–they’re in the mail! Thanks for having the best style on the internet đŸ™‚

Love everything in this outfit! I was slow to warm up to neon too and I like it best in small amounts like that. It’s a great detail, I think. Are you going to the Gap outlet this weekend with the 40% off coupon? I’m hoping to find some jeans kinda like yours!
I absolutely love how you styled this jacket! I saw it in the store and wasn’t quite sure how to translate it to my everyday, but you did it beautifully!

I was like that with neon too. The only time I used to wear it was on bike rides (you know, so I could be seen better, not because it was cool). I’m just now getting around to wearing it out in the world, and I have to say it’s not the bad, cheesy 80s neon I rocked when I was 5. At least that’s what I tell myself. đŸ™‚
