Trend of the Month: Neon Challange

I am loving the neon trend going on right now, and am particularly in love with the color citron. (neon yellow ;)  So when Marion posted her neon challange link up, I said I was definitely in! 

I was hoping to purchase the JCrew No.2 Pencil Skirt in Citron in time for this post but the cost of $110.00 kept me holding out for a sale or promo.  (Ironically, it is on sale now for $89.50).  The color online looks a bit more yellow to me than the skirt that I tried on in the store, which looked like a neon yellow with a hint of green.

Thank you for checking out my contribution to the neon challange and please make sure to follow this link to Marionberry Style to check out the other participants!

I had such high hopes for this new Loft dress but check out what happens below if your job requires you sitting at a desk all day!

That's right, the back sags out and creates a schlumpy butt!  No thank you, Loft I can get one of those on my own just by eating too many candies ;)

This outfit was inspired by Notes From the Dressing Room

Ann Taylor Blouse

Loft Sweater Jacket

Target Skirt

Madden Girl Booties

Steve Madden Bag

F21 Pearl Cluster Ring

So here is the long awaited Ann Taylor Petite Silk Camp Shirt

I have to say that although the shoulders are perfect, the sleeves on the other hand are too long and there is waaaay too much room in the body of the shirt :( 

Perfect color though, right?!

The good new is that the weekend is finally here! Whoo Hoo  The bad news is my much awaited Ann Taylor order was a complete flop :(  Sizes were inconsistent and quality didn't equal my recent purchases from WHBM. 

So then the good news would be that I'm saving money since I'll have to return everything.  But then the bad news is I'll still have to be on the lookout for a fabulous silk blouse in olive or similar color.

Again, the good news is that Mr. PEMS is taking me on a shopping road trip to H&M Monday, but then the bad news is.....................nope, I got nothing.  That's all good!

Have a fabulous weekend Lovelies ;)

After promising myself that I would not be purchasing another item for at least two weeks, Ann Taylor offered free shipping on top of their 40% off promo yesterday and it was all over. 

On a whim I ordered the Bias Stripe Sheath Dress and the Parallel Dot Sleeveless Dress (never would have given this dress a second glance but it looked so amazing on Annie over at Really Petite).  I also ordered the Exotic Dot Print Side Tie Dress and the Petite Silk Camp Shirt. 

Now, I will definitely not be keeping all of it but I'm really looking forward to trying everything on and comparing the quality against my new WHBM Dresses.  I'll let you guys know the verdict! 

Have an amazing weekend Lovelies ;)

Still waiting for the real spring to come, and by "real" I mean after basking in an amazing 70 degrees Friday I nearly died when a 45 degree Saturday and Sunday hit.  (It probably didn't help that I insisted on wearing peep toe slingback's both days) but then again, how else could I have shown off my newly acquired pedicure?  Priorities ladies!....I've definitely got mine in order ;)

Mr. PEMS had off today and somehow ...(by extension?) I had been thinking that I had today off too.  Come to find out you have to actually schedule a day off to not show up where I work on a Friday (who knew, right?)  Needless to say, I did not quietly slip out of bed and tiptoe to the bathroom this morning and I may have "accidentally" dropped a few things in the shower as well.  That's right ladies, this sweet face can be very decieving ;)   I'm totally joking (but I'm not really) Lol

I stubbed my toe on the coffee table last week and tore a chunk out of it, so wearing shoes was a bit of a challenge this week.  I survived by wearing sandals quite a lot.  Even the weather seemed to offer it's commiserations by offering balmy 60 degree weather for most of the week :)  .....Almost worth it for the weather, but not really (totally was though)! Lol

Have a great Friday beautiful girls!
