This week, Fashion Magazine wanted to discuss neon and how to wear it without looking like your a rave kid. I love bright colours, I feel like when you wear them, people around you smile (of course, if you’re wearing them correctly). I once wore this dress during an important meeting. It was a bold choice and likely not meant for everyone, but I was able to start the conversation off with compliments on the colour and the meeting continued up-hill from there.

This is my post for Fashion Magazine

I love spring for so many reasons, the weather gets nicer, flowers start to bloom, we get to bring out our spring/summer clothing out of storage, and put away the bulk sweater. Except you really can’t, because we still get those days that are awfully cold. I feel like i’m at the point in the year when I need all my clothes out and available to me (unfortunately I live in a tiny apartment, so I can really only fit 2 seasons in my clothes at a time).

So it’s time to layer up, and wear this set of clothes one more time before the switch. Try mixing in some of the new pieces you’ve picked up for spring with your fall and winter stuff. This is probably the easiest way to get for the next little bit, depending on how much pre spring shopping you’ve done.

Enjoy the early days of spring and don’t forget a sweater!

Bright colours are one of the big trends right now and leading into Spring/Summer 2013. Don’t be afraid of going for a bold look by dressing in one solid colour. It is a great way to grab attention and makes for ease while getting dressed in the morning.

And yes, my hair is in pigtail buns.
