A Classy Mix of Florescents







 Today I pulled out a $0.25 blazer I picked up last winter at a thrift store - I know! $0.25 is a steal!  I have many plans for this blazer, so you will see more in the coming posts featuring it!  Today though I wanted to style this classic shape with trendy florescent colors.  Florescents are popular this spring/summer and I wanted to show a way to mix them with more traditional pieces so you can add some fun to your regular wardrobe especially if you are shy about sporting brights!  To style this outfit, I added a pale florescent yellow/green boyfriend T from Target under the blazer and rolled the sleeves up a bit to give it more of a relaxed feel.  Too add a romantic touch (and for warmth for eating at a chilly restaurant!) I added a floral scarf and to keep it simple some nude heels.  These skinny white cropped jeans from Target keep it light on the bottom.  To mix in a coordinating florescent shade, I painted my nails a florescent peachy-orange color.

Blazer - thrifted ($0.25)
Bright green/yellow Mossimo Supply Co. boyfriend Tee, Target ($8.00) I found this in store and cannot find it online.
Floral Scarf from Old Navy (purchased a few years ago)
Mossimo Supply Co. cropped jeans from Target ($22.99). The white ones are sold out online but I did find them in the store - they also have bright green, orange & turquoise that I am hoping to find in my size.  So cute!
Shoes: Nine West "Rocha"
Earrings - purchased at Target
All items in this post were purchased by myself.


I am so excited about this seasons brights and can't wait to experiment some more!
How have you been wearing this season's hottest colors?
