I let my hair down. I kinda liked it.
Had a lovely evening with my friend, Sarah, last night. We checked out a new ice cream cart called, Salt & Straw. Let me talk a little about this gem. They have very odd flavors. I don’t mean like Ben & Jerry’s odd. Flavors include: Brown Ale with Bacon, Pear and Blue Cheese, Honey Balsamic Strawberry with Fresh Cracked Pepper. Enough said.
We tasted a handful, including the bacon and beer option. HOLY COW! It’s very bacon-y. Interesting, but I will reserve pork for dinner and not dessert. Thank you. I ended up with a Sea Salt and Carmel cone and it was delicious.
My number 3 outfit for the 30 for 30 Challenge is a summer creamsicle dream. I was also inspired by another blog challenge called Bloggers Do It Better, from Kristina of Pretty Shiny Sparkly. Her assignment this go around is Neon + Neutral.
Do you know how much I love my polka dotted shorts? Here, here and here I’m wearing it with this tunic dress. See it previously styled. I felt like summer, easy and breezy. Perfect for a nice evening, sipping mojitos and gin & tonics with my gal pal. A great way to kick-off the weekend. Have a fabulous one, friends!
What do you think about the neon and neutral trend? Would you wear it?
I love this look! the tunic as the dress is genius and the layering of the shorts underneath is perfect. Thanks so much for stopping by my blog and leaving a comment too
And the ice cream cart flavors sound awesome! Right up my alley 
Thanks, Andrea! I’ll be refashioning that tunic again, I’m sure. I love finding different ways to wear my clothes. Stretches my closet and my budget.
Super cute! Love the bright orange and khaki
I can’t believe you got the tunic for $2, I love a great bargain!
Ahhh, I’m adoring the colors you have going on, here! And you’re crackin’ me up with the shorts–that is truly how you know you made a perfect purchase for yourself. Also, I need to try this ice cream out. I’m more than curious.
Hah! I just finished commenting on your outfit post. Thanks! Yeah, those shorts. Love them. They’re super lightweight, perfect for layering and so comfy. At least, they’re not the “featured” item in the latter two outfits, right? Right. I promise to put them aside for a little while and move on.
I LOVE the neon/neutral trend! I recently saw this Charlie Jade silk tank dress that was neon green top and charcoal grey skirt. Dynamite. In fact, your awesome outfit reminds me of it! Great job!
Thanks, Aimee! I looked up that Charlie Jade dress and it’s really pretty. While that shade of neon green wouldn’t look good on me, I do love color blocked dresses.
Super lovely outfit! The colors are so beautiful!
Thank you, Vanessa!
I love your neon + neutral look – one of my favorites I’ve seen so far!
Dani, that’s very kind of you to say! Thank you. It’s a light outfit and really perfect for summer…
Totally totally loving this. It’s so nice and simple, and I love the pop of orange with all of the neutrals! Everything about this (including you!) is absolutely beautiful.
Thank you for your sweet comment, Genevieve! My brother and his family live in Georgia. I checked out your blog, your photography is beautiful.
I love the neon/neutral trend and you look great! =)
This outfit is super adorable, Van! I really love the colors on you! (And how awesome is it that those are all thrifted pieces?!? Sorry…I get a little excited about great finds…)
I so share your giddiness for great thrifted finds!!
Thanks for the lovely comment, you are too sweet! I love this BDIB submission– that top is gorgeous! As are you

I love odd flavored ice cream it’s the best. Love this look super adorable
Melissa, I agree, I’d take special ice cream over all other desserts, any day.
Hi dear! I’m really lazy on checking email. I just read your email and followed you via bloglovin! thank you for following me. Do come and visit my blog once awhile thanks!!! xx Joice
Hi Joice! I fixed the commenting problem… it had to do with setting the preferences on my cookies. I’ll definitely be popping over to your blog.
I love the pop of orange! And that ice cream all sounds interesting…although the sea salt and caramel one seriously sounds amazing.
i like your neon+neutral combo. and i love that skirt, especially with the skinny belt peeking out.
I love wearing dresses as tanks! It makes your closet seem twice as big!
You really rocked the challenge here! I especially love how low-cost and clever the sourcing of the look is! Thrifting and vintage for the win!

I love this outfit! Gorgeous!! The nudes mixed with the splash of color! It suits you very well very stunning!!!
Thank you, Natasha! I’m debating whether I like neutrals with pops of colors more or all over color… it’s a toss up! Wearing one bright color amongst nudes seems to make a bigger splash. I kinda like that.
