I've managed to resist the neon glare that's been going on in the fashion world for months now, but a few factors are beginning to wear me down: 1) Cupcakes & Cashmere makes neon nail polish look irresistible, 2) Target has an entire collection of neon rubber bracelets and plastic earrings that are a blast from my past and oddly tempting (couldn't find them online, but look for them in stores), and finally, 3) Real Style Real People's theory of fashion desensitization, which states the longer you're exposed to a fashion trend—no matter how heinous—the more likely you are to succumb to wearing it!
Slap me back into reality…or tell me you aren't starting to like a little touch of neon, too?
I say go for it.
I think if you pair a little bit of neon with black or other neutrals it can be a fun pop of color.
J: I love that look on Kate, and she raaarely wears such bright colors. I think I'll have to do a "Dress by Number" post with that photo!
Vanessa: I swooned over that "How-to" as well, her tips make so much sense. I'll have to try the Essie and post a photo when I do
There, did that help?
1. My kids (students) will think I'll totally cool for following this trend or
2. I'll be lame.
I'm going with 2.
I think the trick is to go with one or two bright neon pieces and keep the rest more subdued.
