What NYC Recessionista Wears: bold brights

On Thursday, I decided to meet the sunshine head-on … with bright colors.


Handmade aqua chalcedony earrings (similar) / Forever 21 printed tank (similar) / J. Crew Factory neon belt (similar) / LOFT bracelet (similar) / moon and star bangle (similar) / watch c/o Caravelle by Bulova / Ann Taylor striped skirt / Dansko sandals

I honestly slapped this outfit together in about three minutes, following a very simple formula: cool tank top + pencil skirt + neon belt = ready to brave the heat.

I’m not sure that the pieces are a totally perfect combination, but I like how the geometrical pattern in the tank top matches the diamond detailing on the sides of the skirt.

And I felt like the belt was a good way to give myself an hourglass shape while adding a pop of color.
