Oh, it's spring and you know what that means - I want stuff and apparently it's almost all blue stuff I want. I think the neon trend is fun, but I was, um, alive in the 80's and I am not so sure I can pull this off a second time as I am positive I didn't pull it off the first time. But, I do dig the bright, saturated colors quite a bit. I compiled a bunch of photos of things I really liked for spring and then when I looked at the folder I laughed because apparently all I want to wear it blue. Blue! BLUE EVERYTHING. Seriously:
And! If money were no object I would buy these so fast it would give me the spins:
I KNOW. I
KNOW. Ugh, I can't stand it! I love them so much it makes me angry. Okay, just to break my own pattern, I also like this:
It's basically my pink blouse in dress form, which might be fun. Or is might be a freak-ton of bright pink. Hm. I do intend on getting one or two more colors in
that Target dress I posted about recently. I think it's funny that it's call a "Value Dress" because nothing says, "I feel pretty" like the world VALUE. Ugh. But, I want it in this color (which would look great with those Chies I just posted RAGE
RAGERAGE):
And maybe this:
Okay, that's enough from me. What do you kids want for spring? Do tell.
Love your picks!
ReplyDeleteI want tops like the second one... to get me out of the t-shirt habit and look more put-together.
I like the neon trend in SMALL doses, like a cheap bangle.
Totally agree. I think it might be neon toes and maybe a small accessory, but that's it. AND, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!
DeleteI actually was at Old Navy yesterday and almost went home with the first blue top. It's much brighter than it looks in that photo- I'm going back to get it today at lunch!
ReplyDeletea note on the target dresses-- I went to the store and got the navy one after seeing your post. I love it and was surprised that it was long enough and the waist was reasonably in the right place (I'm 5'11"). but then I ordered the purple and olive green color on line and they are completely different! Tee olive in particular in a medium is about 5 inches shorter and higher waisted than my navy blue small! Its easy to take online stuff back to target, so its worth the shot, but just a note of caution.
ReplyDeleteOh, what a bummer! I just ordered the purple one so hopefully it's not completely different. Definitely the drawback of cheap clothing - no quality control.
Deletebut the purple color is lovely in person! and it was at least less wacky-sized than the green. i might even still keep it.
DeleteI have been on a bender with Boden's spring clothes, mostly their tunics. The husband is getting suspicious of the packages that keep arriving on our front stoop.
ReplyDeleteThose Chie sandals are gorgeous. I have my eye on them too. I had to size 1 full size up when I tried hem on. I hope you end up getting them:). Great picks!
ReplyDeleteI have the second blue top already, but in the pink pattern! I also bought a bright green top that is similar to the first blue one, but it ties in front. I love both of them because they are so light and airy! Perfect for the humidity that has already been creeping up here in Miami so I think you should go get your ON picks, at least. Like tomorrow. :P
ReplyDeleteI want a natural hourglass figure like yours, mkay? Not hitting on you, just bemoaning my twizzle stick build. I feel as if this one thing was changed, I could wear anything and look fabulous, right?
ReplyDeleteThe bright blue blouse rocks.
Thanks,
Micaela
UM! You can totally DIY those shoes! Find a cheap pair of blue shoes for the base and I'll even do it for you! And agree that neon is best done is small accessories
ReplyDeletemmm...can we justify Chies if the dresses are from ON and Target? please say yesss!!
