Neon and Apples


Happy Friday everyone!! I'm so glad the weekend is finally here! It's also Friday the 13th. Which means, being the scary movie fanatic I am, watching one is a requirement. Just need to figure out which one...
We're also running a glow-in-the-dark 5K tonight! I'm so excited! It sounds promising.


So, I wore this to work the other day. It's pretty much neon. And...I'm wearing yellow. Yes. I know you're shocked. I just couldn't resist this vintage looking zip-up skirt and I figured it was far enough away from my face to avoid washing out my pale skin... Right?


Also, I wore my hair up. Even my bangs! It's so weird looking in the mirror without bangs there. I don't think I like it.



Oh, and that collar is actually a super cute necklace! I saw it at Forever21 and knew it had to be mine. I mean, a peter pan collar you can wear as a necklace?! With any top? Sign me up!!



Does anyone have fun plans for the weekend? Other than tonight, I haven't planned much. But sometimes having no commitments is the best.



Outfit Details:
Peplum Top - Cotton On
Skirt and Collar Necklace - Forever21
Lace Extender Skirt - Boutique/DIY lace
Heels and Belt - Target
Shades - Children's Place
(yep, that's right my head is small enough for kid's glasses)

This is AWESOME! I'm glad you got the skirt, because that far from your moneymaker (aka face) it doesn't even matter. It's awesome with the color of the top and I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE THAT COLLAR WAS A NECKLACE. I love all the sneaky things you've done with the collar and the underskirt. Also, I need a Peplum top ASAP. Whew. That's enough comment for one day.

ok, well this is by far my favorite look! you look so lady like and proper- which is right up my alley ;) and i love collar necklaces, you're making me want to run to topshop after work and buy a litter of them. and good luck on your run- that sounds really fun with it being glow in the dark and all

Okay you look FIERCELY gorgeous in these pictures. I LOVE the whole look. You are a braver woman than I. I am such a wimp for scary movies. I just saw the movie "Gone" and that isn't even scary, but it is the best I can do :) My boys are trying to talk me into a movie on the house and s'mores tonight...we'll see. Have an awesome weekend!!

This weekend... I will be coping without my husband, haha. He's out of town for a few days, and I don't know who to hang out with! I think I'll go to this new Korean restaurant that opened down the street at some point this weekend. Watch Netflix. Read a book? We'll see.

That's funny about the glasses! I bet my face is small enough to wear kid's sunnies too.

I totally didn't realize that collar was a necklace- genius! I might have to pick myself up one of those, you'll get so much use out of that. And I LOVE this skirt! This all looks fantastic together.

Love this outfit, the neon yellow skirt is a fun color, and then the peach colored top is a good option to mix with it. Pretty and colorful! :)

I love that yellow skirt! I too recently got an add on collar and I love that I can make any shirt in a cute peter pan collared on! Yours is bigger than mine, and I dare say, even cuter!
Your hair looks good up too! Sometimes you just have to do those top buns in this heat, ugh.
Hope your run went well and you are having a great start to the new week!

A glow-in-the-dark 5k sounds like so much fun! Hope you enjoyed the rest of your weekend :] This outfit is beautiful on you. The yellow and coral color go so lovely with your complexion. I also think you pull off bangs and no bangs.
