OOTD: Screaming Neon Short Shorts

Neon's had a major moment for a couple of seasons now, and after seeing J.Crew's screaming pink shorts on a few of my fellow bloggers, I had to cave. The beauty of these shorts is that they complement almost any neutral perfectly - think black, navy, taupe, white or cream - adding a seriously fun pop moment. Last Friday, I picked myself up for a all-girl margaritas and guac happenstance, and here's what I wore:

• Oliver Peoples Benedict Aviators
• Express Graduated Antiqued Spike Necklace
• Vince silk blouse (past season, similar here)
• J.Crew leopard belt (similar here)
• J.Crew 3" Chino Short in Neon Pink
• Loeffler Randall Wood Heel Platform (no longer available)
• Tooled leather bag from the souk in Marrakech, Morocco

Have you experimented with neon outside of accessories? What works? What doesn't?

OOTD: Winter's Last Gasp

Remember my blind optimism last week when I declared that spring had arrived?  Lies. All lies.  Today, the sky was gray, the rain was falling and there was a distinct chill in the air. To stay cozy and warm, I piled on the layers and here's where I landed:

• Henri Bendel umbrella
• Express sweater (no longer available)
• Forever 21 silk top (originally a dress, no longer available)
• J.Crew glitter belt (no longer available)
• Old Navy The Diva skinny jeans in black
• Loeffler Randall patent leather ruffle flats (no longer available)
