After overdosing on color from yesterday’s outfit, my best friend asked me to give an ode to black.  I just about died laughing at the request.  She lives in LA and wears mostly dark shades while I live in NYC and wear mostly colorful brights — it’s quite a comical contrast.  Well boo, this is as good as it’s gonna get: my (almost) ode to black, because it wouldn’t be me without a few pops of neon.

I usually like to plan an outfit around one piece — a statement necklace, a printed blouse or a pair of killer shoes — and build from there.  Well today’s outfit was spontaneously jam-packed with a few of my favorite things: floral, lace and neon.  There wasn’t really a starting point — just a bunch of fabulously bright and punchy pieces from my closet coming together to make one heck of a colorful spring outfit.  Try it some time — you’ll never know what you’ll come up with!

While swapping out my winter wardrobe for spring attire last month, I decided to hold onto my tweed skirts for just a little while longer.  For the most part, it’s been lightweight skirts and flowy dresses all month long, but when temps occasionally dip back down down into the chilly zone, I’m forced to go crawling back to my thicker layers.

This past weekend, I decided to toughen up the tweed with a faux leather moto jacket and strappy heels (in reality, I wore black chucks to get around).  Black accessories and a graphic clutch give the usually preppy texture a little bit of edge.  Let me know what you think about this combo and scroll down for a little guest star in today’s post.
