It’s Friday and bright colors just seem like the proper way to usher in this weekend.  I know we’re still a few weeks away from spring, but I couldn’t wait to bring out the pastels.  Call it premature — I call it a preview of what’s to come.  Happy weekend friends!

As a prelude to spring, I’m busting out the brightest hues in my closet all week.  But after Monday’s over the top color combo, I thought I’d turn it down — just a notch.

The last time I wore this neon lace skirt, I was completely decked out for summer.  To make this standout piece work while transitioning  from winter to spring, I balanced the bold color with a cream sweater, leopard heels and simple accessories.

I’m all about mixing spring clothing into my winter wardrobe — and from the looks of it — the guy photobombing in the background agrees completely!
