Wearing a maxi dress like this is technically cheating. I get zero styling credits for putting this look together; the dress did all the work for me. All I did was have the fashion chi-chis to wear day-glo neon and tribal in the same look. (Totally game.)
This C.C. Lake Neon Nights dress is perfect: super bright on bottom (seriously, the chances of getting hit by a bus whilst wearing this dress are quite low) + a fitted sweetheart top in black and white tribal print. Lightweight, no fuss, but you look like you tried. (This is the goal, always.)
I wanted to work the shoulder game, so I wrapped my hair in a topknot. A convenient hair style choice, as it was a particularly muggy Kansas City afternoon. Flat patent t-strap bow sandals, that signature necklace I’m forever wearing, and a slim white clutch were all I needed to finish the look.
What are your weekend plans, dolls? I’m taking over the Divine Caroline Instagram… You should follow along! The LSR takeover starts Friday evening and rolls through Sunday. I’ll be uploading all my weekend fun to their feed- come and play! (PS it may involve the Backstreet Boys, who are in town this weekend and I’m totally going.)
Linking up today with Vodka Infused Lemonade, Stylin in St. Louis, Perfectly Coutured + Everyday Fashion & Finance, I’m Perfectly Human, Walking in Memphis in High Heels, VMG206, Midwest Bloggers, and Style Elixir.
*C.C. Lake sent the dress for my review; thoughts and opinions are my own.
Gorgeous!!!!!! Love this maxi dress and that clutch is perfect with it.

I absolutely love your hair like this! So cute! And you have amazing shoulders and arms, seriously girl! Wow! 😀
How cute are you? Loving this look.
Love this look! You look beautiful! You’re right that maxi dresses are the best way to look like you put some effort into your outfit, but secretly didn’t have to try at all (and they feel like you’re wearing pajamas:). That is awesome you’re going to the BSB concert!! Can’t wait to follow along on Instagram:)
I love this bright color on you! How pretty!
So cool you’ll be taking over Divine’s instagram- I can’t wait to follow along!
Looking gorg, girlfriend!
A) cleavage is looking finnnneeeee. b) I should have worn that in college so the stupid KU bus drivers would actually see a pedestrian.
I love that Bauble Bar necklace- every time I see you wearing it I’m like ‘I need it!’ 😉
STOP BEING SO PRETTY! Okay, don’t, really though, you look so good in neon! I love this dress, and your hair is PERFECT!
Awesome outfit! Great for the summer!
Such an awesome dress!
Hope you have a good time at BSB this weekend! I’m jealous. 🙂 And take lots of pics on the DC instagram! So cool you’re taking over!
Your “fashion chi-chis” are really big. LOL! I love this dress on you!

What a striking dress! It looks fabulous against your bronzed skin and I adore how you’ve balanced the neon skirt with an equally bright necklace! Have a great weekend 🙂

Wow, I love the neon! Looks great with your skin tone!
Gosh, you look great in the strapless neckline! I think this is the first time I’ve seen you wear this neckline. Very flattering. Have a BLAST at the BSB concert. That sounds kinda fun….
