Animal print and (especially) Neon can feel a little full-on, and they are certainly NOT for the fainthearted when paired together!
Wearing neon and animal print together looks great on the perfect people of Instagram, or in a glossy magazine, but what about real life?
Can you really pair neon and animal print without looking like you're taking part in a dance show?
(Any mums of dancers will know what I mean!)
So, today I'm wearing a splash of both neon and leopard in a wearable look.
A nod to the trend without being too "In Yer Face!!"
A soft neon pink top and my old burgundy jumpsuit (which is coming to the end of its happy life 😔) is a colour match made in heaven!
I wanted to do a bit more bold clashing but kept things subtle for my first attempt at mixing these two trends.
It's a tricky combination, for sure!
To tell you the truth I loved this outfit so much that I feel inspired to bring you more Neon outfits ASAP!
(Maybe a bit more punchy and bold next time?)
So watch this space if you're feeling the vibe too.

I love that you've picked these trends and worn them your way, it's really inspiring!. And sorry that the burgundy jumpsuit is coming to its end, as it's a gorgeous piece!, it rocks with your boots and the pink top!. Lovely ensemble!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for sharing these pics of neon and animal print outfits, such a fabulous inspiration!!

I'm sad about it too Monica... it's starting to look shabby and because it's not a piece that gets better with age :o(
DeleteI'll be sad to say goodbye.

ReplyDeleteBlimey I didn't realise it before Samantha but I LOVE neon pink and burgundy together! And make it the funkiest jumpsuit ever (is it not dungarees...?) and you've got yourself a winner of an outfit. One of your best outfits ever - and that's some feat considering I love just about all of them!!!!

Thank you so much Catherine!
DeleteIt's a great combination... and you're probably right about the dungarees/jumpsuit :oP

I love this outfit - the pink + burgundy is a great combination (I have done it myself too), and I adore the unexpected BAM that the leopard gives it. Why is the jumpsuit near the end of its life? :(
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Sheila!
DeleteThe jumpsuit is looking a bit scabby and starting to lose its shape. The fabric is getting saggy and it's looking a bit worn out.
A few more wears and I'll need to say goodbye :o(

You have such a knack for the "subtle nod" to a trend that you really aren't ready to fully embrace. I think that happens when were reluctant to jump in with both feet.
ReplyDeleteDo you think revisiting a trend from the past gives those of us who were here for round one, a leg up on how to style it more intelligently? creatively? unpredictably? HA!HA! Can't wait for your next neon moment Sam!
You're right Judy!
DeleteI was into neon the first time and wore fluro-tastic ravers outfits... hahahahaha.... AND cycling shorts :oP
