Trendy Tuesday: N(e)on Goodness

Happy Tuesday my loves!

Once again it's cloudy and dreary in my area so I had to peel myself out of the bed to come to work. However, my productivity rate is feeling like a little less than 0 today! I honestly just want to catch up on my weekly reading because I'm slowly but surely falling behind. Is it crazy that I find myself wanting to blog more than I want to work these days-even though blogging nets me ZERO dollars!!

(okay, maybe it's just me)

I'm excited and non-excited for a number of reasons on this Trendy Tuesday.

Let me share the excitement first:

 I actually remembered that it was time for the Everybody,Everywear link up, which happens on the second Tuesday of each month. This month the trend of discussion is-N(E)ON. Sooooo, the non-excitement (I swear I love making up words) set in when I looked through my closet and realized that I own little to no neon items to create an outfit with.

Oh how I wish that I could open my closet and make these things appear:


Neon Essentials...


However, since I'm non-fortunate, thrifty, and shameless, and would never in a million years spend thousands of dollars for the above listed merchandise here's what I have to work with...

Skinny Biker Pants-Platos

The lighting totally killed the color of my n(e)on green tunic but you get the gist. I really wanted to keep everything else neutral. I added the red purse for an unexpected dose of excitement, otherwise the outfit would have been a little dry.

See...




So let's add the purse and the jacket again...
Purse-NY&Co

The shoe...

Shoe-Thrifted (Steve Madden)

The accessories...

Bracelet-Platos/Two Finger Ring-Icing/Knuckle Ring-Local Festival

And the n(e)on shirt...

Shirt-NY&Co

And you end up with this...

Jacket-NY&Co
N(e)on Goodness...





What do you think about the n(e)on trend this season?
Did I do okay or should I have added more n(e)on?

Thanks for reading.
XOXOXOXO


I can't wait to see how Everybody,Everywear else rocks their n(e)ons today.
