After participating in my first
Bloggers Do It Better challenge last month I was psyched for the next one. I waited in eager anticipation for Kristina over at Pretty Shiny Sparkly to post about this month's challenge. Well last week Kristina proclaimed that "Neon and Neutral" was the theme for this Bloggers Do It Better challenge. Initially I was stumped, I had the neutral covered in my closet, but the neon not at all. As I was running errands I started seeing neon every where. At the fabric store I picked up lovely neon pink notions to use as accessories and at target I found an adorable lemon yellow cardi. Well I had my neon and my neutral, the question was can a girl who likes subdued colors pull off neon? I'll let the pictures be the judge.

Well whether or not I pulled the look off it was a lot of fun to break out of my style box and try something completely different. Big thank you to my photographer
Thomas Griffin for taking the pictures for this post.
YOu did, you did pull it off. Your pics kind of have a Matrix kind of quality to them. I was drawn to look at them all! Love the Black and the Neons...very 80s.
