Neon Metal

I don't think I'd ever abandon neon or metallic. The creation of neon itself is designed to stand out and provoke. What better way to grab attention than to just douse yourself in fluorescent hues or anything that's can reflect sunlight? This sort of thinking nudged me to mentally sift through my closet, yanking anything out that are neon or metallic to concoct this ensemble. Starting off with an almost-baggy neon jumper, I then promptly threw on a knitted metallic scarf that resembles enlarged chain-mail (ya' know, for provoking sake), added some bright sunnies and matching slippers, and of course the obligatory wrist jingles and BAM you're ready to head down to Waitrose to pick up some din-din. Ok, I'd admit to the average man, this may seem just a tad overdressed for groceries, but au contraire, the wide-legged bottoms exhibited here conveys just the right amount of slouchy demeanor allowing me to barely pass as looking *gasp* casual.

    1. Yep that's exactly how I felt when I saw it. It stood out so much, totally random piece in Hong Kong's H&M. It's not from the MMM X H&M collection, even though I would believe it if it was, how weird right?

  20. Nathan, thank you so much for stopping by my blog and leaving such a wonderful comment. I just joined your site so I hope sometime you stop again and join mine! :)

    Your site is FANTASTIC. My oh my do I love the neon! It's chirpy and chic for spring. I especially adore the orange and the bright blue together-it just is pleasing to the eye. also i adore the texture in your scarf!!

    1. The scarf texture is simply a thick wool yarn knit with a thin layer of what appears to be silver acrylic on one side of the surface. It feel funny on the skin but it's surprisingly warm.

  23. makes me so upset when someone tells me I'm too dressed up. Do they not realize that they are wasting their time NOT dressing up? I mean, if you can look amazing, why not do it all the time right? ;)
    Love how you still brought this outfit down to a more casual level, but it's not JUST casual, it's fashionably casual <3

    ps thank you for your sweet comment on my blog Nathan :)

    1. I'm glad you feel the same way Kei, the whole point of being a provoker is just to wear whatever you want whenever you like, and if people are seriously provoked by something as simple as fabric, well, that's there own problem. Keep on provoking hun! X

  24. OMG! you look adorable, the outfit looks like from a very chic and classy cruisse collection. My fav piece is, obviously, the jumper but the pants are also amazinng! Lots of love in this look.

  49. Woah! I'm really digging the template/theme of this blog. It's simple, yet effective.
    A lot of times it's very difficult to get that "perfect balance" between superb usability and appearance. I must say that you've done a excellent job with this.

    Also, the blog loads super fast for me on Chrome.
    Outstanding Blog!
