a little pop of neon

normally im against such bright colors... i think i tend to get scared... but recently i've found that im growing to like and appreciate brighter colors in my wardrobe.

but styling them and wearing them is a whole other story... i don't want to go overboard so i've had to learn to keep things lowkey, while still trying to make a statement.

neon is a popular trend, and a great way to add a little pop to an outfit.


Outfit. Neon Coral

so the cool thing about some neon colors is they can make you look instantly tanner.... im not saying you're going to look like you just spent the day at the beach or came out of a tanning salon... (self tanning...) but the bright color will add some color and life to your complexion.. especially after covering up during the cold winter weather.

 insta tan(er) legs!

pair this cute circle skirt with a floral sleeveless button down


theres pink in this blouse too, so the black wont seem as harsh, but will also act as a neutral so you're not too bright.


finish the look off with nude flats, and some cute bracelets





Outfit 2. Neon Yellow

be warned this color is bright, but can be super wearable. neon yellow is a refreshing color after the cold dreary winter weather. pick a simple dress, without pattern.



go for a softer neon, rather than such a bright color.


tie a cobalt blue belt around your waist, and add some flats in the same color.

               
statement earrings add a cute accessory but won't get to overwhelming.

the blue and the yellow complement each other. but stick to only two colors, any more and you will have done too much.

keep the outfit somewhat simple, the statement is in the color not the accessories.


Outfit 3. Neon Purple

neon purple is an easier color to wear, its not quite as out there as yellow, but its still bright. like the dress above, go for a lighter lilac shade of neon, rather than a darker one. we're breaking away from dark colors of winter, and brighter happier shades for spring.



since the pants are so bold. go for a simple light weight neutral sweater, one with a graphic is fine, but make sure there aren't too many colors going on.



to make the outfit more fun slip on some cute and quirky shoes.



as for accessories, stick to earrings and a watch or bracelets.

       

since theres gold on the flats, keep your accessories to the same color hardware. (if it were silver, wear silver accessories).





don't be scared of bright colors, sometimes after a neutral phase i find myself craving brighter happier colors, the trick is to experiment, but keep it simple at the same time. find the colors that work for you and expand your wardrobe that way.

have fun! <3
