I’ll admit, I was a bit skeptical when I first caught wind of the neon trend.  Granted I was just a wee babe in the 80s, but I still have flashbacks of poison green spandex that send chills up my spine.  As it turns out, I had no need to fret.  I think the key to pulling off this look without blinding my fellow pedestrians on the street is to keep things subtle… well, as subtle as a pair of neon yellow sandals can be!  But seriously, I find that just playing around with a few neon touches, like a hot pink watch strap or an electric blue top, is a fun way to spice things up.

    I love everything about this – the dress, the jewelry (that ring!!), and the neon shoes! You killed the neon trend and still look totally you!

    Totally feel you on this neon trend! It’s a bit intimidating. Shoes are a great way to do it without going overboard. I love how you paired them with that beautiful scarf print dress! Looking lovely.

    Such a pretty outfit! I’ve fully embraced the neon trend and will often attempt to blind people with my colors:) You make a great case for subtlety though!

    This is cute and oh so timely.   i was just trying to decide between getting these aldo sandals (http://www.aldoshoes.com/us/sale/women/sale-sandals/89376257-kustes/53)  in black (safe) or fuchsia.  You’ve inspired me to take the pink path.

    I absolutely love that dress. I have something similar to it. I’m just trying to pinpoint a day I can bust it out. <3 the necklace as well. =)
