Spring Trend Alert - Neon Brights

One of the hot trends for Spring 2012 are neon hues.



Neon colors sort of take me down memory lane with a few celebrity icons from the 80's.


Ahhh - You put the "boom boom" into my heart.  Check out those neon brights!


Who could forget the queen of the 80's and her crazy color combinations.

When wearing neon colors, you don't have to look like you stepped out of 1986.  There is a way to pull them off in a classy and sophisticated way.  Have fun with brights, but remember to wear once piece and make it the statement of your outfit by balancing it with softer or basic colors.


This is what NOT to wear and should only be worn to a costume party.

If you are interested in testing the trend, here are a few pieces currently out in stores or online for your viewing or purchasing pleasure.



























So what does a "neon" appropriate outfit look like?


Wear now with a camel sweater, boot cut jeans, and boots


A great way to mix your brights if you are more daring

Pop in a neon accessory for instant contrast.


Happy Shopping!
