Neon Tweed

A tweed pencil skirt is about as conservative as it gets – but when done up in neon colors and paired with playful stripes, it takes on a completely different vibe. I wore this out for a meeting on a chilly day and it felt like the ideal transitioning outfit from winter to spring. The weather’s been on the dreary side as of late, so a pop of color with a knotted belt and a little sparkle in your hair helps brighten things up.

    I love the mix of preppy stripes with a not-so-conservative take on tweed. It’s great pattern play and super applicable! (And the headband is a nice touch!)

    Oh wow, I love this neon tweed, it’s like modern french chic and love the neon pink belt you added to it, it really is super super cute!! I’d wear this in a heart beat! <3 I've just uploaded my first ever outfit post from Paris Fashion Week! I would say it's Parisian-Provoking-Chic and I credit that to the Céline foulard printed flared trousers, I guarantee you'd be mega provoked ;)

    I love the look of this outfit and the skirt, even though it is neon, doesn’t look too in your face bright. I really like it.
