neutrals and neons

Since starting this blog, I've raved about my love of olive green, and the color has made a few appearances in the last month and a half or so (see Exhibit A or Exhibit B or Exhibit C). It's my favorite pseudo-neutral--it's a color that can be paired with pretty much any other color. A case in point is this highlighter-hued blouse I wore today:



I paired a billowy hot pink top with a olive green skirt. I like the combination of a muted neutral and an intense neon.



To balance out the bright blouse, I kept all of my accessories neutral, including this gold belt:



I also added a leopard-print ring that I made using one of my late grandmother's old earrings.



In addition to the belt and ring, I wore brown oxford pumps and carried a brown handbag.



Here's a close-up of the accessories...
