neon + zebra.

sunnies, betsey johnson // zebra slip, chasensully // mini skirt, old navy // jacket, vintage // necklace, vintage // "e", alex woo

i love mixing unexpected patterns and hues, but i prefer to keep some balance tied into the outfit so that the mismatching appears intentional -vs- "having gotten dressed in the dark."  for this look, i achieved said balance with the following:

-  LIGHT:  pink of the overlay, the manicure and the pink of mini slip.
-  DARK:  black of the sunnies, the slipdress and heels.

styling tip:  infusing black into an overly girlie outfit immediately toughens it up and grounds the look.

  1. I love this look... and I'm typically not a fan of zebra print. That jacket is an amazing vintage find. Very nicely done!!! xo.

  2. I never would have thought to put that outfit together, but it really looks great! I especially love the edgy shoe with the more feminine zebra and pink.
