Well it’s the third day at my new office today and I got to say – man o’ man is it ever a long commute! The first day I thought it was okay because the traffic was decent on the way in, but that day seems to just have been luck. Deceiving luck. It took two hours to get home the first day and an hour and a half to get home the second – what a nightmare! Regardless though I need to make it work until I figure out my next career step – a scary and daunting seem task.
Clearly this is not an outfit I’d wear (or recommend wearing) to work, distressed cut-off shorts are not exactly the uniform of a successful business woman at work! I wore this though on the last beautifully sunny day we had which was Sunday. Beautifully sunny but brutally brisk, admittedly it was a bit too cold to be sporting shorts that day. But I did it, I’m alive and well so s’all good.
Aside from the wildly distressed short shorts, surely you’ve been noticing that I’ve been neon obsessed lately. I recently was going through my blog to update my archive and I noticed that neons have been taking over The UU. I am quite honestly addicted to neons – neon skirts, blouses and I’ve even been eyeing up a neon dress! You’ll definitely be seeing a lot more bold bright neons on The UU during the next few months – spring is just heating up and so is my neon-obsession!

You're looking great, Bree! And that blouse is really beautiful.
I'm not a big fan of neon coloours myself but lately I've been spotting more and more neon tops on the streets of Maastricht so I think they'll be a huge trend this summer … I might even reconsider my liking for them hehe
Have a great day!

haha I totally get not being a huge neon fan, though I must say – I am a HUGE fan! It's a really bright trend to tackle and can look a bit wild at times!
That commute sounds horrific! I hope you can find something better for yourself soon. 🙁 I'm so loving neon too, so fun!
