Trying to pack for New York has turned out to be harder than I thought... My mom and I have already stuffed a suitcase with all kinds of footwear that I highly doubt we'll even wear, and I also feel like I'll be wearing more than one outfit a day, which means more luggage to drag behind me... it all seems like a disaster right about now.
These random shots were taken yesterday during one of my many five minute breaks I took while working on my school projects. I attempted to play around with a few pieces to see if I could at least get some sort of idea of what to wear while on the east coast... the idea of a fluorescent color paired with something rather dull and simple seems kind of cool, except for I don't want to look like a neon traffic sign in the middle of Central Park.
Wearing Kain pocket tee, Lanvin silk-lined blazer, American Apparel nylon tricot leggings, and Forte crystal sunglasses

I really like your wall! I always try to make it seem casual like that, but it never turn out that way.
Who cares if your neon leggings happen to stop traffic in Central Park. With your amazing style, you're bound to turn heads and stop traffic anyway. =]
wow, Karla! this is somehow genious. I love your blazer and your legging, you combined it well. :D
God. I love this. Sheer awesoooome.
thanks to you Karla, I have now developed an infatuation with blazers! you always look fab in them! on that note, i found a Karl Lagerfeld blazer at a second-hand store for $12.00! I will showcase it in my blog very soon.
damn, those are some bright leggings
"I don't want to look like a neon traffic sign in the middle of Central Park." xD

Love grey with neon... the color really screams! Also, glad to see you back on Chictopia :)

Neon or not, I'm sure you'll rock something amazing in NYC. :)
I live in New York. Maybe I'll bump into you. Have fun Doll!
For some reason, I really like this whole '80s look, even though I'm not at all a fan...
Sometimes it's fun to fool around during breaks inbetween major projects...keep it up...
those neon leggings are amazing!
wow, great neon leggings!!
Love the pictures, the neon leggins are kickass!
I'm terrible at packing, always take too many clothes & if I buy more stuff on a trip, I'm in trouble.
xx,

you will see a lot of people rocking neon tights with duller colors on the east coast!
i love your tights though!
Great, I love it.
You look amazing
http://nosoytanrara.blogspot.com/
With every blog update my jealousy increases!
You look amazing, neon traffic sign or not...
neon IS a dull color in nyc. you'll fit right in - and i actually mean that as a compliment!
love your looks, you're an inspiration!
loveee ur style!!
xxx
Love your style... love your blog!!!!!!
By the way, I've just opened the shop on Etsy.. Please have a look you all may find things you like there!!!!
http://MultiKulti.etsy.com

OF course you won't look like a neon traffic sign in the middle of Central Park! You'll be just perfect! Have a nice trip/stay!
Irene.
Neon is so hot right now. Who cares if you look like a traffic sign!
those tights with that blazer are ridiculous in the sickest way possible, you're too good.
wow your outfit is amazing ! I love those leggings, the color is so great, moreover you wear it so well !
love the poses, i love the blazer,sunglasses,top. Im not a fan of neon green, i would of worn purple leggins. Have a great time at nyc love that city. Plse give us a tour of ur closet soon!
i love how the green makes it look as though the t is fading from a flourescent green to a stark white. i love the contrast of this outfit. the grey really adds a strong contrast to the vibrance of the green.

http://lisa-smalldetails.blogspot.com
great photos :)
so 80s, so cool
An interesting idea to pair fluorescent with a tee, a sober white tee. Works well on you. I'll have to try something similar one of these days.
you're freaking awesome!
LOVE your style
can you take pictures of your fav clothes/shoes etc one day, or your whole closet? :D

http://thevoguette-233.blogspot.com/
The first photo kinda reminds me of Lady Gaga! Awesome hair though...have you dyed it?
And I always have been a bit dubious of neon - little 12 year olds go around wearing it in London which kinda ruined it for me...but I still might give it a go after seeing this.

Lol. its funny because I I wore something freakishly similar to this yesterday, only my pants wear silver silk bottoms, a grey top and hat and the same neon coloured belt. I love matchin dull colours with bright hints but I slyly felt like all I needed was a bike :s loooool. This outfit suits you tho! Have fun in new york! pack light!

i really like the neon green with the simple tee and blazer. also, there are not many places where one would could get away with leggings so bright but i think nyc is one of the few.
so not tacky karla- you look fabulous in everything girl!
p.s. just saw your "interview" in lucky- so much congratulations girl! cant wait to see your guest blogging!
xx
The leggings is awesome!
http://missheadoverheels.blogspot.com/

Okay, I am buying a whole new wardrobe- even new basics. What are your essentials/do you recommend?
Thanks! Kate
oh how i'd love to be in new york right now!! stopping traffic with an outfit is never a bed thing in my book....colour in my opinion needs to make a come back! even if its bright neons!
NEW YORK IN MY HEART FOR EVER.
And can your leggins be any cuter!!!! xxxx
it actually looks good with those neon-pants! the look was great
Hell yeaaaaa! My fav ever!!!!!!!!
totally love the pictures in the background! it reminds me of my bedroom wall which is like that but on a bigger scale! x
I'm loving the neon! Also, I peeped your WhoWhatWear feature the other day, and you look fabulous hun!! Congrats! :)

Love the leggings! So fun!
I think I have been packing for NYFW for the last 5 days and still have no clue as to what I will actually wear. I have changed my mind everyday.
I know you will look stunning no matter what though, good luck with school and packing.
Maybe I'll see you in NY.
Gray and neon green/lemon green are my favorite color combination! Anything bold and bright goes perfectly with neutrals. Good luck with your packing. You look gorgeous!

this outfit is fabulous and that blazer is absolute perfection
i´ve been searching for a legging like this! LOVELY
xoxox romylicious.blogspot.com
love the outfit, however I agree that maybe the leggings are not the best choice for what you're doing/where you're going. Perhaps pair the cardigan and tank top with a pair of strategically/purposely cut black leggings. The simple "dull" cardigan will offset the rips in the leggings, making them more presentable.
:) good luck and have a great trip.
love your blog, keep updating!
dude. you always look great.
thumbs up to you darling.

love this outfit!
LOVE THE LEGGINGSSSSSSSSSSS! LOADS!

I just picked up my LUCKY magazine and you had a blurb in it! Congrats...HOW COOL!!
Only you could pull off those leggings!
http://newgateknocker.blogspot.com/
love, love, love the neon green paired with a grey blazer!
If it's any consolation, my excess baggage charges from New York - Milan - Paris - New York for the collections last time round were $500...Thank God I wasn't paying! And, of course, I wore barely half of it. Thing is: for the SS collections, the European fall weather changes so much, so you have to pack coats, and boots as well as sandals and silk frocks...LLGxx
You look so pretty! You're definitely rocking the hair--so lush punk.
I can't believe you're still in high school..you look much more mature, but in a good way--not a saggy-old-person way.

http://azninneverland.blogspot.com
You're an inspiration. I check up on your blog every day. Keep it up. -lifesarunway.wordpress.com
I can imagine packing for NYFW would be hard. I love your unique style! Those leggings are rad!
I think you found a perfect match, street chic mixed with 80's fanatic.
Extend your fashion to the extreme:

Karla,
You are NOT going to look like a neon traffic sign. You know in NY there are crazier/aweful outfits out there. I personally think it's great! Have fun while you are here.. maybe I will actually meet you!!!
UNordinaryCHIC
This is my first time commenting...been following this wonderful blog for quite a long time now! Its weird how you think you "know" someone after following them on their posts!

Nice Blog, I love it!
#1 rule when going to NYC and not wanting to look like a tourist/wannabe:
Don't try to hard.
Just keep this in mind, Karla. You look cool here, but it's not nyc. Keep it clean, simple, and remember it's AUTUMN in New York right now...
I think the leggings are perfect for the rest of your outfit, they offset the neutrals. I love the blazer by the way.
