Color Shock!

Color Shock!



If you are loving the color trend, then you might just love the neon trend that has popped up as well. The electrifying colors are back and in a big way. You can buy the bright colors in just about anything. If you like bold colors in generous amounts, then try a dress. If you prefer just a touch of color, then try a polish or an accessory, such as a belt.

It is hard for me to believe that neon has come back so soon. I'm not old by any means but I'm old enough to have lived through this trend once. I was a mere child, but I remember wearing a pair of hot pink lightening bolt earrings in elementary school. I also remember wearing a matching top and pants that had black and white stripes with splashes of neon pink and green. Naturally I thought I was too cool. Looking back....well, not so much!

It is very hard for me to look at these pieces and not see the little girl with permed hair and crooked teeth. So...I'm not quite sure I can jump on this trend. What are your thoughts? Did you live through this trend? Would you do it again? I would love to know!

  5. I am definitely loving the neons, but I have not purchased too many things because I think the trend will only be around this season. Accessories are the best option. And it totally makes me think of my years as a little girl!! Awe, the memories!! Happy Friday!

  6. Haha, I'm thinking back to 8th grade (or the 80s) myself! I do like the neons, but I'm afraid to invest too much since I'm sure they're a passing trend. That peplum dress is tempting though, looks so cute!

  14. I can appreciate neon in small doses also. I definitely had a bright blue and pink wind breaker and a neon pink hat as a kid. Not sure if I was actually being trendy then or if my parents just wanted to be able to spot me easily...

  16. I think I have an unhealthy love for neon, but I don't think I'd be brave enough to do it head-to-toe. And wearing neon at twilight is blinding for others, haha!
