The blogger collaboration is finally back!  I’m SO thrilled to be teaming up with Amanda of Little Miss Fearless, Lynzy of Sparkling Footsteps and Caitlin of A Little Dash of Darling to show you four different ways to wear spring trends.  Today, we’re kicking it off with how to mix neon and pastels!

With spring in full swing and summer just around the corner, neon will be in heavy rotation.  Don’t worry, the ultra-saturated hues are much more wearable than you think.  You can pair neons with neutrals to play it safe or pile neons on neons to go all out.  But if you’re looking to shake things up, try mixing neons and pastels for a look that’s both colorful and balanced.

I paired chartreuse with mint and quite possibly discovered my new favorite color combo of the season!  Check out how Amanda, Lynzy and Caitlin mixed neon and pastels and let me know what you think of the trend!

april 2013 recap.

Skirt The Rules Blog; NYC fashion blogger; style blog; spring outfit photosone / two / three

Somewhere in between March’s freak snowstorm and April’s rainy days, spring magically sprung.  Having never really experienced four full seasons (an Arizona spring lasts for about two weeks in February), I never imagined how glorious this time of year could be.  People shedding their winter coats and tights, lowers blooming in every planter and park throughout the city, and me decking myself out in bright colors and bold prints galore.  Check out this month’s recap of all my spring’s best and let me know which is your favorite!

This weekend, Tracy and I ventured down to Prospect Park for a major change of scenery.  And while Central Park makes for a quick escape from the urban life, this Brooklyn gem feels like a completely different continent.  Wide open lawns, tree-covered paths, and far less tourists — it’s a trek definitely work making.
