The look can be of any color; however, the brighter the colors the better: hot pink, yellow, lime green. A tiered mini skirt is a good foundation. If one cannot be found, then a denim mini-skirt will do. For the top a black tank top covered with a bright T-shirt will do. The T-shirt can be stretched around the neck or the neck collar can be carefully cut out. The neck …
