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.

  1. 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!

  2. 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.

  3. nailed it! love how many colors you worked into this look, can’t wait for spring weather here in VA!

  4. 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)!

  5. 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!

  6. 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!

  7. 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™‚

  8. I love that blazer! I really wanted it too. I was a little reserved about neons too, but now I really love them! That Target clutch is really cute!

  9. 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!

  10. That clutch is amazing! I immediately had to click on it to see where it was from and am in awe that it’s from Target. It’s in stock at my Target so I’ll be making a trip there this weekend đŸ™‚ Great floral blazer, too.

  11. 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™‚

  14. Ha! I love the way you look @ that rat trap box in the 3rd pic. I like this outfit. My Mom would be thrilled about the floral anything coming back in fashion. She loves her floral pants. My Dad not so much.

  15. Kendi, I am on the hunt for lipgloss and yours is perfect! Would you mind sharing what you are wearing today?

  24. Super cute blazer and clutch! I saw them at Target a few weeks ago and loved them. They have a super cute floral print clutch also, that seems to be their print of the season, because they have pants and a skirt with the same pattern.

  31. I keep trying to contact you through your “contact me” form on this site, but it never works and says the form is full or something along those lines. I saw you mention on Instagram a few weeks about about rocking the 3rd day hair. Have you ever considered doing a hair tutorial on the blog? I’d love to hear your tips and tricks for extending days between washings.

  32. That blazer is so cute!!! I love it đŸ™‚

  37. the clutch is amazing! and I love that blazer from J.Crew… too bad the shipping cost from ordering online usually outweighs the extra discount. this is why i always wait to shop there until I’m at home in Texas where the sales tax is lower.

  41. Love. I ended up buying this clutch and your yellow cross body bag on target online last night during their buy one get one half off sale. I may have bought a few more purses and shoes since the sale was so awesome! Oh and free shipping with purchase over $75 and I found a $5 off coupon code online. Score! Truly enjoying trying to recreate some of your outfits. Your a style inspiration.

  42. What a great mix of colors! It’s a feast for the eyes, with those blue heels, green top and blue flowery blazer. This is a favorite, for sure.
