Retro + Kate Spade

Even though I was born in the 80's, I have always been intrigued by retro style. The flashing and vibrant colors, the obnoxious patterns, and all that jazz screams fun in all the right ways! Hence, I was inspired to opt for a retro look with a modern spin in today's look! 

Dress: old / Sandals: AMI Clubwear (c/o) / Tote: Kate Spade / Cardigan: Lixmee (c/o) / Sunglasses: For Me

If you can remember this neon dress, I've already styled it here. Today, I added a fun mix of accessories to transform a simple neon dress into a retro chic outfit. This grey cardigan from Lixmee is a new addition in my closet. I got it specifically for the fact that I needed a new cardigan that can be easily mixed and matched with other pieces in my closet. Meanwhile, the Mini Harmony Tote from Kate Spade has been on my wishlist for such a long time. It took me a while to contemplate whether it was worth splurging on. But I bought it around Christmas time so I considered this purchase a gift for myself. 

For some more retro touch, I added the pink sunglasses and gladiator sandals from AMI Clubwear into the  mix!

What do you think of retro style: yay or nay?

 

Pop of Neon

When it comes to shopping for dresses, I am drawn to solid colored ones that are simple in design and cut. Hence, this new neon and hot pink dress I picked up was something you would not normally find in my closet. I occasionally love wearing pink but I often settle for the lighter tones, such as rose or carnation pink. Hot pink on a dress? A ballsy choice but it worked in this case!

 

 

 

 

For one - the cut is simple. I might have to pack on some more curves to look better in it but that does not take anything away from my adoration of it. It draws the eye, very easy to wear, and comfortable. With the right accessories, you can even wear it to a cocktail or any nighttime events!

Do you fancy yourself wearing neon from time to time? Or is it fashion off-limits for you? Share your thoughts, ladies. XO
