Top: Urban Outfitters Sparkle & Fade Open Back Chiffon Blouse in Neon
Skirt: Bebe Ruffled skirt (old, similar here)
Purse: Rebecca Minkoff Swing Black Shoulder Bag
Shoes: Zara basic black sandals
Glasses: Giorgio Armani
Bracelets: Kate Spade, spikes from Ebay / Necklace: (removed from a dress) (similar here and here )
By now, I think it’s safe to say that I’m highly addicted to the electric hues from the hot neon trend this spring and this top from Urban Outfitters is the perfect new addition to my flamboyant collection! This top was so bright in person that it was reflecting on my skin. As a matter of fact there were all sorts of strange neon glares in the photos and my wonderful photographer believed that the top was the caused behind those glares (see pic 6). I on the other hand thought they were ghost glares but let’s hope I’m wrong… :/
I wore a strapless corset bra to eliminate distractions of the open back details and paired the top with a ruffled skirt for a fun girlie look. For a dinner party that evening, I traded in girlie ruffles for sparkling sequins (see below).

When I first started my blog back in December 2011, I used to do a lot of versatile outfits using one “main” item. I thought it’s time to bring that back, this time nicknaming it “My Fab4.” My Fab4 will consist of 4 photos of how I’ll pair a particular item in 4 different ways: Night, Day, Work and Casual. Unless I’m head over heels in love with a piece, I always try to buy things that can be mixed and match with a variety of other things…4 outfits are better than 1!
Hope you like & love to hear your thoughts! xo
My FAB4
Night: Victoria’s Secret Sequin skirt, BCBGMAXAZRIA leather vest sweater and Zara heels.
Day: Aqua skirt and Zara heels.
Work: Express tweed vest, express pencil skirt and Christian Louboutin heels.
Casual: DaMasque distressed skinnies, F21 cargo jacket and Christian Louboutin pumps.
Wow! Loved the look and loved the FAB4 idea!! **
that color is amazing! i love how versatile it is too!

Is it possible to give us a link or a name of the dress where u removed the necklace, I went through ur blog, but u never mentioned it. I found u on asos and I love ur style!
Hi Vicky, I can’t find the dress online but I’ve updated the post with a couple similar-ish necklaces. Hope this helps! :)
I am SOOOOOO excited that you are doing those different outfits! I love your style but I also love it when you show us how to pair something to make different outfits. Can you write more about those outfits though? I’d love to know why you paired an outfit with something and why you didn’t chose something else. xoxo
I found you on Chictopia and I am in love with your blog. So much color and amazing inspirattions!! Keep up the good work!
Ooooh, that ever-elusive golden hour! So glad that you’ve finally managed to get some shots in! Definitely loving that neon top, so much fun, and those bracelets, especially the spiked one!
I had so much fun with you and Melissa on Saturday, even though it was surprisingly scorching for SF. Love our girl talks and I can’t wait till next time! :D

Me too, it was fun and we promise not to abandon you in H&M next time! :)
So in love with your outfit!! I think I’m going to steal this entire outfit from you! It’s too bad that Bebe skirt no longer available because it’s SO cute! I also love the Fab 4 outfits and agree that 4 are better than 1!! :)
OMG I love that neon top…I need to get myself one, pronto! I’m serious haha. You look lovely and so perfectly dressed for the Spring. (: Xo

You look great in Neon KTR! Love the top and skirt combo and the way the sun is glowing behind you is so cool!
I went through all of your pictures today and I have to say I couldn’t tell you have a new blog. Your pictures are so beautiful and you style are so fun and girlie. You have so many looks and hair styles and I love them all. I love how you have added the inspiration quotes to your first photo. Keep up the great work!
I LOVE that top and your ruffled skirt! So brigght and so much fun! I am also really happy you are bringing the different outfit pairings back!!! It’s so helpful to see how an item can be styled in a variety of ways and I love all of your picks!!!!
P.S. I think that “strange” glare could be a result of your skirt, the gold chain on your bag and the sun combo?? I don’t know but I hope it’s not any ghosts!! lol
Thank you so much Jess! :)
