Neon Fashion Trends

Neon Color Blocking

Juicy brights pack a bold punch!

The trick to wearing neon is not wearing it all at once. It should be the pop of color to spruce up any outfit, in any season. Tyra Banks recently discussed how neon fashion can be incorporated into any season.

Not my person style but I would wear these pumps with a neutral outfit.

Don't be afraid of color.

Spring TREND ALERT:: Orange Lipstick

"Some of our favorite celebs, including Solange Knowles, have taken cue by smearing tangerine and apricot colors all over their lips. YUM! With the recent burst of spring weather, this is the perfect time to try a radiant color. Check out the gallery of perfect examples of orange lips, from pastel corals to intense neons." (BV)

The difference a belt can make...

AFTER

BEFORE

I'm working on my NYE outfit and pulled out this Vintage dress that I thrifted a while back...I love how good it feels on but I felt frumpy because it just draped over me...I looked like a supersized square. So I decided to add this yellow belt and BAM, I have a smokin' hot outfit to wear tonight!!! Accessories and a pop of color always does the trick!!

Hooking up the Crib for FALL!!!...for LESS.

I have been purging and getting rid of clutter for the past few months. I was on my way to being a hoarder....not like that woman from Oprah a few weeks back, more like an organized clutter. My garage was a mess!! WOW! So after having Salvation Army make 4 trips to my home to pick up all this junk I'm inspired to jazz up my crib (home)... Hubby and I juggled with the idea of buying a new home but we don't want to settle down for 10+ years in this state, we wanna relocate EAST... Stay tuned for that convo...

Anywhoooo...since we are gonna live in this house for another year or so we decided to redo everything while we are here. We are not balling so we are gonna do this on a budget. When we first got married I shopped in places like Pier 1, spending waaaay too much money. After perusing Target and Walmart I started "window shopping" for ideas. I'd snap a pic of color combos and text hubby and he would say YES or NO...so we agreed with the chocolate brown paired with bold colors like; green, turquoise, orange....its a perfect mix of the both of us! Right now grad school has consumed my world but I imagine we will have this job completed by Thanksgiving. It feels good to chunk all of that junk that was taking up space. All that clutter was messing with my mind, now I have clarity and can think! LOL! It's so true what they say about clutter effecting your peace of mind. As I was chunking stuff in the Donate, Sell, and Trash piles I felt liberated! I should have taken BEFORE pics! OMG!
Stay tuned yall!

Get the look for less...

I saw a dress last spring that I fell in love with. It was Gucci, the price and size were way out of my league so I forgot about it and moved on. Well, after browsing the web I stumbled onto a website called http://www.onestopplus.com/ . This is where the dress featured above came from. It is almost identical to the Gucci dress I seen in Vogue last year! This website has sizes from 12W to 44W!!! WOW! They have everything from shoes to purses and clothes to fit the curvy girls. The prices aren't "thrifty" but everyone deserves a semi-splurge every once and a while, right?!!
