I love the back of these shoes. All about the details!

What I’m Wearing:

Bottoms: Banana Republic Factory Store (Tall size and DIY alteration) | Top: Old Navy | Shoes: Barefoot Tess 

 I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! I’ve had this neon yellow shirt for months and have never worn it because I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to wear it with besides jeans.  Then I remembered I had a pair of gray pants that would go well.  When I pulled out my pants they seemed a bit dated with the bootcut.  So I went over  to my sewing machine and turned them into skinnies.  It was pretty easy.  First I turned these gray pants inside out. Then  I took a pair of skinny pants I already owned and laid them on top.  I then took my tailors chalk and traced up until slightly above the knee where the outer and inner seams met on both pair.  I then pinned where my outline was and tried the pants on.  I liked the fit and didn’t need to make any adjustments.  I stitched them up with me machine and then trimmed off the excess.  Lo and behold I had a pair of brand new pair of gray skinny pants.

I say it all of time if you’ve been following my blog for some time you know I love color.  Give me bright, rich overly saturated color, I love it! But I think I may be slightly obsessed with neon right now, or maybe its the shoes.  They just seem to make everything better.  Yellow is already my happy color and throw in the neon and it’s like I’m electrifyingly giddy.  That has to be a good thing right?

P.S. these jeans are from the men’s tall section of old navy.  I was looking for some boyfriend jeans and thought what better place to get them from then the men’s section.  Only thing is these are a Men’s Skinny Jean and I didn’t think to go up a size for the loose baggy look, but I decided to keep them anyway because they actually fit great and I love the wash. I remember when I was in high school and I “had” to buy men’s jeans because they were the only ones long enough.  It a great feeling to be buying them under different circumstances, because we now how so many other tall women’s jean options out there.

P.S.S. The hand of one my little one’s in the fourth picture…lol. Enjoying my break, but missing my munchkins.

I have had a pair of neon yellow pumps on my wish list since last spring and had been unsuccessful in finding an affordable pair in my size 12.  While browsing on Zappo.com for nothing in particular, just seeing what was out there, I came across these patent leather pretties.  I read the reviews, which there were only 2 and not very favorable.  One stated they rubbed, while the other stated they were too big for her.  I thought about it and decided to go ahead with my purchase.  I quickly clicked, checked out and paid without hesitation.  When I received them in the mail within two days (Zappos is awesome like that!) I was so happy.  They fit perfectly and looked better on and in person then they did online.  They are neon patent leather and definitely a wow look at me now kind of shoe.  I was scared that they would make my feet look even bigger than they already are because of the bold color, looking at the pics I don’t think they do.  I’m glad I decided to go ahead with the purchase because I love how this shoe ups the wow factor of an outfit.

So tell me would you rock a neon shoe?
