SUMMER STYLE, NEON AND CHAMBRAY

remember when i said that a chambray shirt is an absolute necessity in a closet?  this outfit is a perfect example of why.  it's the ideal item to layer over a neon mara hoffman dress that is probably a bit pricey if you're only going to get one look out of it.  but, add a magic chambray shirt and VOILA!  an entirely different outfit. the chambray tones down the neon, gives it a casual vibe, looks great with lipstick.  and now, i pat myself on the back.  i finally found the right rationalization for adding this dress to my closet.  see how that's done?  xx- sarah
