neon. I don't think I've worn anything neon since I was rockin it in the 80's ( I still to this day have a weird obsession with the era: sixteen candles. whitney houston. can't buy me love. anyone?). But I thought it would be a perfect accessory to my outfit, as it adds a obvious punch to a rather monotone palette. On the other hand it's just REALLY fun to wear out, especially at night!
I was just coming back from a sushi dinner date. It was a chilly, chilly night. I love the weather here in the Cape (except for the howling wind when the Cape doctor picks up). As we have the most amazing long summers (no humidity) and a very short "winter". The perfect balance for 365 days of wonderful seasonal dressing.

I love how your photos turned out, really neat! I love neon but I have to say, it is pretty hard to wear it in an outfit.

BTW, would you like to link up with my blog?

M*: SERIOUSLY. I am IN love with your blog. Thanks for the sweet, sweet comment.

fashionistadiary: oh yes, I've always been a closet lover of neon but only pull it out in small amounts. When I saw this scarf at zara it was love at first sight! It fulfills my "love for the 80's" but in a not so obvious manner.

** date: my BF of 6 years ;) I just like to call them dates as it make things more fun and exciting then "going out for dinner, again" I love keeping things new + fresh!

style and the city: WOW. your blog is beyond inspirational. daily love.

fashion chalet: yes winter is still hanging around here! Spring day is SEPT 1ST! I'm sure you are stocking up on chunky knits + scarfs... love it. thanks lady love- you are so sweet.
