I love the mix of a light and heavy in this outfit. I expect to be playing with these proportions a lot more this season.
Skirt: Asos
Sweater, T-shirt, Shoes: Old Navy
Necklace: J. Crew
I'm also pleased, and surprised, at how much use I've gotten out of a neon green skirt. Here are some other ways I've worn it.

Remember when I bought a scanner and started to scan/pin all my old fashion magazine ideas? Me neither. But I did and yesterday I saw my pin on how to wear a midi-skirt. So here is my replica. I think this look may work better on a tall leggy model but I suppose that is true of everything I wear.
T-shirt and boots: Old Navy
Shirt: J. Crew via Goodwill
Skirt: Asos
Cuff: Trina Turk
Ring: Gift

I resisted the neon trend when it appeared last year, mostly because I already lived through the first incarnation back in the '80s. However, when I saw this skirt on sale I couldn't resist. I think it will look really cute with grey tights and boots this fall.

Clearly I forgot I am a 40something lawyer and decided to dress more like a college student or young blogger this morning. Ooopsies.

This morning I stepped into my overstuffed closet and I had nothing to wear*. My problem was compounded when I committed myself to these pants (which are great but apparently not as versatile as I thought). After deliberating for an absurdly long time I grabbed this shirt and headed for the door.

Do you ever get fixated on an item of clothing and think "if only I could find a grey sweater with bunny appliqués" for the fall, then I'd be set? In my case, the elusive item was a pair of camel colored wool trousers. I had a very specific image in mind and was convinced that if I could find them then all my wardrobe problems would be solved.
Of course as soon as I decided that was what I needed, the fashion industry conspired to stop making (affordable) camel colored wool trousers. J. Crew came close but the price tag and the fact it was not in my beloved "city fit" gave me pause.
I was so despondent about my lack of the right pants, I did what anyone would do and went to Target for a pick me up. And there I saw this skirt and I realized that I did not need camel colored wool trousers (well maybe I do but they can wait) but I did need this camel colored knit skirt. Just like finding the right partner in life - you never know what you need until you find it. (Yes I just compared finding one's soul mate to buying a cheap skirt at Target.)
