Hi there! 

With Summer in full swing my favorite color combo is a pop of neon paired with neutrals like white or metallics. In the looks above I styled a Lilly Pulitzer white and gold shell tank and matching gold shell bracelet with JCrew neon pink shorts and Maypol gold espadrilles. 

In the bottom look I wore a new Lilly Pulitzer neon pink and gold dress with my Jack Rogers gold wedges. I finished off both looks with my Chanel vintage chain strap tote that I have been carrying around nonstop lately! 

I hope you're enjoying summer:) 

Xo,
