summer '0neon: me in necklace form

Walking past the Free People store on 3rd and 75th with Alex on Saturday, I found my soul mate. Hanging on a mannequin in the window, paired with a simple white tank and denim cut-off was the most beautiful thing I'd ever laid eyes on: a neon pink, chain-and-stone oversized bib necklace! I saw myself in necklace-form in that window and immediately dashed inside, heading straight to my soon-to-be possession. I picked it up and absolutely flipped: not only was it exquisite, but it was also affordable at only $32!! Totally meant to be!! (If you've been shopping with me, you probably know that I believe in shopping destiny- case in point, my excitement at being cosmically united with the magnificent neon creation.) So I bought the necklace and obviously wore it all weekend.

I also wore it to dinner at Mezzaluna with Avery on Saturday evening paired with my new violet silk-lace-and-rhinestone top from the Phillip Lim sample sale and to my dad's for Memorial Day dinner with the neon yellow tank under a blue-and-white tye-dye tank dress from Zara, shiny black AA leggings and my new studded black sandals. It's quite surprising that a neon necklace can still look fab with neon tanks galore!

It kind of looks like those beyond-amazing Lanvin Spring '09 necklaces, don't you think?

Expect to see more of the chronicles of the neon soul mate necklace!!

Peace, Love and Neon,
