I don't really need to mention my love of neon again, do I? After highlighter yellow, my next favorite neon shade is definitely shocking pink. And, ever since I was a girl, I've loved pink with gray.
I'll admit that I was less than enthusiastic about maxi skirts and (especially) dresses when they first came on the scene. They seemed to be a bit sloppy and lazy, almost like the dress-version of sweatpants. But, while they can be worn that way, if accessorized well, they can instead look incredibly glamourous and not sloppy at all. In fact, the sheer proportion of them can add drama to an otherwise casual outfit.
Even though I paired this maxi with a t-shirt (creating a head-to-toe jersey ensemble), the jewelry (especially the necklace) heightens the look, and the knot in my tee adds shape and visual interest.
I was as comfortable in this outfit as I would have been in sweats, but the look wasn't nearly so casual or boring. I know you hear it all the time, but accessories really do make all the difference.
