Dainty Flowers, Peter Pan Collars and Touches of Neon





Peter Pan Collars and Touches of Neon

Peter Pan Collars and Touches of Neon by jackie98 featuring mml

Neon is everywhere right now and while I'm drawn to the day-glo hues, head to toe neon feels too 80s.  But dainty neon flowers set against the white backdrop of a twirl worthy dress feel perfectly contemporary. And the fit and flare silhouette along with the Peter Pan collar adds the kind of timeless and romantic details that I never grow tired of, and which seem perfect no matter what the year. The  pearl drop and floral motif necklace and earring set I wore with the dress seemed to fit this timeless quality, while the black sheer stockings played on the contemporary elements of the dress. Once at work, I added a neon cardigan with a lacy collar and laced up a pair of white oxfords. I really love that from this dress so many other looks can be created. For example one of the other ways I like to wear this dress is with a pair of ballet pink tights, shimmery flats and a cropped cardigan. A happy mingling of old and new, classic and trendy.
