Black and white and a little bit striped…with just a hint of neon! I actually wasn’t intending to work these flats into this outfit at all but as I was about to step out the door in my favourite new pair of black heels, it all just felt a little too classic. While any of you who have read my blog for awhile know I definitely lean more towards the classic side of things, I still feel like there always needs to be that little jolt of the unexpected to really make a look feel whole.
Speaking of the unexpected, this might be the most shit-fashion-girls-say type of thing to say, but I think I am officially/definitely going short (hair-wise, that is). After soliciting advice/opinions from everyone for about a month or so (thanks for putting up with me for those of you who follow me on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook), I feel like I’m finally comfortable enough to go there. As decisive as I can be in some aspects of my life, I’ve had so many horrendous experiences hair-wise that I really have some huge fears when it comes to mixing up things with the mane.
What was the bravest or most unexpected thing you’ve ever done appearance-wise?
love the neon flats with the b&w outfit — just perfect! xo

Oh my gosh I love the surprise of neon in the outfit from the shoes! So cute!
Short hair is super brave!!!! I'm approaching my mid-thirties and still have yet to make that plunge. I love your outfit – I've been seeing the black/white/stripes/pop of neon look in a few places and the more I see it, the more I like it. Gorgeous!!!
LOVE the pop of neon with the black and white outfit. There is nothing chicer then a striped top and a black skirt.
OOO go shorter!! I miss my bob!! I'm planning after my wedding (which is in a year) of going back to a bob. But I think for the summer I'm going to chop it to my shoulders. I really forgot how much work having long hair is…

Yay for short hair – I just cut a couple of inches off mine and I love it…it's so freeing & "light"! Love this striped top + full skirt combo – thanks for reminding me I'm long overdue for a train track shoot 🙂

I got my hair cut shorter than what I was used to. Now I feel like trying long hair, so I'm growing it out.
Love the pop of neon.

Such a beautiful look! Love the fabulous neon shoes, you look adorable! <3
I am so excited to see your hair when you cut it, go team short hair! Honestly since I cut my hair i would never go back, i had 2 weeks of hating it but now I absolutely love everything about shorter hair.
I love this classic look, the striped top is so perfect and the pop of neon with those flats is the perfect twist!!

I love this outfit! The neon flats are super cute! And I can't wait to see your haircut! My hair was long and blonde before I chopped it off and went brown…best decision I ever made!
Short hair would totally suit you! I cut my hair (last November) that was past my boobs to a shoulder length long bob and LOVED it. Best thing I ever did. My hair was healthier and it was less time consuming. And I didn't regret it for once second. Do it – it's totally worth it!
Love the neon addition to your outfit – and your bright lipstick!

Yes to black and white and neon! Wore something similar recently! For spring, I definitely agree that neon gives black and white a little jolt!
Good luck with the hair cut! Can't wait to see it!

I once went from really long hair to a pixie cut! That was definitely the most daring thing I've ever done. And the time I tried black lipstick (hint: don't do it). I think you'll look really great with shorter hair, though I do love your long hair! It's so voluminous and healthy looking!
I like your outfit a lot, I'm glad you opted for the neon shoes since they add such a fun touch!
You look SO gorgeous in this post, Alex!! I love the classic outfit – this definitely feels like something I would wear! And I'm loving this lip color on you! Can't wait to see your shorter 'do when you decide to take the plunge!!
First off, Babe Alert!!! You look gorgeous, girl. Excited to see what you have in store for the new-do. The bravest thing I've ever done hair wise…super short bob in front, with a super short graduated cut in the back, and blonde…FTW! I still can't even believe it when I look at old pics. But I wore it like that for like 4 years.

I'm not one to go super crazy with drastic new looks but I did chop of 10" off my hair once! and ps i love those neon shoes!
Great choice on the neon…they really added punch to your already chic outfit!
And depending on how short you're going to cut, might I suggest you think about donating your hair to Locks of Love – they provide wigs for children who suffer from medical hair loss. I donated 13 inches of hair last July! =)
Cheers,

I love the hint of neon in your flats and I think that this chartreuse colour really complements black and white. Also, I am excited that you've decided to go shorter! I think you'll look extra chic with a shorter 'do like a long bob.

Love that pop of color, the neon shoes do stand out! Very cute.
mm… I think look wise, very very short hair has been the most unexpected thing I've done. Still hasn't dared to go blonde though, and I don't think I ever have the courage to do so!
