ATTAINABLE: Banana Republic Heritage Ikat Skirt
www.bananarepublic.com; $98
I'm a little obsessed with this chic little pencil skirt. The crisp cotton is so pretty, and the pleats are perfection. But best of all is the lovely ikat print. In shades of chocolate and cream, it would be so pretty with brights or neutrals, and is incredibly versatile: it would wear as nicely for lunch with friends as it would as a fantastic work piece for the season.
It's been said that everything old becomes new again -- and when it comes to style, this is certainly true. Rompers. Aviator sunglasses. Platform pumps. Of course, each of these trends cycles in and out with a new spin each time, and I like to hope that they get less tacky as the years wear on. Enter: neon hues. Bold and bright, these colors swept the world of fashion in the 1980s and early 90s... And it's done so again now. Of course, I prefer it with neutrals and rich textures rather than teased hair and legwarmers -- but I leave that entirely up to you.
What's inspiring YOU today?

i LOVE that picture of the sequin shorts and mini cambridge satchel - these colors are making me anxious for a summer vacay, and it's only April!
I love the neon trend but I am not brace enough to make a monochromatic outfit, so I will be sticking to pops of color in my outfits! I love the lace top, the purse and those earrings you picked :)
I'm loving pops of neon, always brightens up my day... I hit Zara yesterday and was blown away by the gorgeous collections. I picked up some gorgeous cobalt shorts with gold zips, so cute!

I just order a neon Rebecca Minkoff mac mini from Shopbop. It's the 3rd neon pink item I've bought lately. I think it's becoming a problem...
I'm completely beyond obsessed with the neon trend. I think I like it now because it just screams happiness! And paired with neutrals, it looks really chic. Not at all like the neons of yesteryear!
Love the neon look. Oh..always inspired what Zooey wears on THE NEW GIRL..now if I could only write the show..and they'd follow my script...I might enjoy the show more.
I love outfits with a touch of neon- like that amazing RM bag above! :)
oooh, i love the neon picks, especially the minkoff bag. and those silver shorts are so hot.
I can't get onboard the neon wagon. I just can't. Well maybe if it's a stripe on a bracelet. Caving?
Neons are great, but I'm drooling over that Banana Republic ikat skirt! xo style, she wrote

I love the rebecca minkoff purse :)
I'm personally also loving the neon yellow cambridge satchel. I included it in my polyvore post and featured it on my blog too!
