I am really new to your blog but love what you’re doing! As a fellow techie girl (web designer) it’s sometimes tough to wrap your mind around what to wear and it’s really helpful to check your blog for ideas. I agree with you – the color is pretty neon and I believe it’s a bit too harsh for you. You’re skin tone is really warm and that color is too saturated and cool toned-yellow for you. If you want to wear yellow, maybe try sunflower or pale yellow? If you want to wear neon colors, perhaps you could also try something more coral or purple when wearing near your face? If you absolutely love that color, I’d recommend wearing it away from your face, like a sexy pump with boyfriend jeans and a black boyfriend blazer with a graffiti/graphic t-shirt. And yes, that color looks really hot with dark grey. Hope this is helpful and keep up the great work!

Ana, I love the curls. (Part of this is that I’m a perpetually straight-haired girl who can’t generate a wave to save my life, but really, I think it’s cute and spunky looking on you.)

I am NOT a color mixing expert, but my thought is that mid-toned colors like the cobalt blue that you are wearing or charcoal or even chartreuse might make the cardigan look like less of an eye-hurting neon and more like a bright citron. My guess is that the reason that black is too harsh is because it makes the cardigan look much brighter by comparison. I’m a complete novice on color theory, so all this might be completely incorrect!

I was thinking more of a dove gray. I’d wear it in a second! But I was an early adopter of neon It looks sweet with the cobalt though. How about ink blue? It’s dark but might be a little less harsh than black.

It looks citron to me.

I mean, I thought citron meant lemon yellow, which is kind of neon yellowish anyway…

Looks good paired together!
