There’s something about neon– I’m just not ready to give it up.
And then there’s that little habit I have of wearing the most ridiculous things I can find.
So you can imagine the fashion kismet when I saw this super bright, totally insane orange neon lace dress at Madewell (at 40%, mind you). Had to have it, no question about it.
But how does one style neon flowered lace? And for the office, no less? I tried to balance out the bright with some cool accessories. Bring on the hematite necklace, gray belt, and gunmetal wedges. The result:
Love the way the lace photographs; it’s almost like it’s radiating heat. Fun, yes?

I love how you mixed warm (or neon!) and cool. Killer look!
Thanks, Jaime! I definitely wanted accessories that were completely off the neon path. 🙂
So pretty and bright!
Such a classic dress but in a bright, fun color! Really cool. 🙂
I literally wanna shop where you shop, you have such amazing pieces. This dress is so gorgeous on you, love the colour.
Too kind, Meghan! And Madewell has some amazing pieces right now- you could shop it online, I believe? madewell.com. 🙂

Thanks, Olivia! 🙂 I bought them for a wedding I’m in next month, and have been “breaking them in,” which translates to “wearing them with everything because I’m obsessed.”
Love that necklace!
