Neapolitan

Dressing as ice cream? Not a foreign concept on this blog, since the last time it was raining I decided to dress up as an ode to Mint n' Chip. Today, I'm in a brighter spirit and dressing up after a personal favorite of mine Neapolitan. It's not the flavors that get me, it's the color combinations. Pairing the most delicate pink with the prettiest cream, and then cutting it all down with a rich black. It's lovely.

3.1 Phillip Lim knows what I'm talking about seeing as all the pieces for Spring 2012 happen to be individual confections themselves. These 3.1 Phillip Lim zipper detail pants have been on my mind since they paraded down the runway with a cool flutter detail. They're both athletic and feminine. The Elizabeth and James top compliments the athleticism with a cross back top, but keeps it dressy with a satin finish. Let's move on to the rich black side because it has the most exciting shoes you'll ever see this spring— the Versus Decollette pump. They come in sorbet colors, too! They are structural, patent-leather, and most of all, just so freaking cool. I'd wear those literally forever. The classic Chloé bag is a nod to the structure in the Versus shoes, and the the top is light as air Prism sunglasses, calling on the mesh transparent detail in the pumps.

Lovely, no?
