Fashion Fridays: Neon

They (Vogue and the elderly lady that I work with) say 'fashion repeats itself', but this one I might not be ready for. When I was 12 I went through a stage of wearing garish neon socks: yellow and pink, polka dot knee high socks. Urgh, it's one of those things that I'd rather not remember, but it's all relevant.

This spring sees splashes of neon just about everywhere, but especially in accessories - thank God socks are not the main feature in any S/S13 round ups. Personally, wouldn't go all out head to toe in neon, but a small hint here or there in a necklace or clutch bag makes a plain outfit gain a new dimension. If you're feeling super adventurous and a sudden mood takes you, mix neon with floral. It's a serious match made in heaven. If you need evidence have a look at Lianne La Havas on the cover of Company this March 2013. Need I say more?!



So here's my wishlist of neon accessories to brighten up the dreary days and prepare yourself for (fingers crossed) a gorgeous spring time!


Vivienne Westwood + Melissa Skyscraper II Fuchsia

How could I not include the Queen of eccentricity?! 

ZARA COLORED METHACRYLATE BOX BAG

Obscure bag-within-a-bag concept, weird, but cool.


SWATCH UNISEX LIME REBEL WATCH

Lime Rebel, a mix up of classic swatch style.

SIMONE ROCHA Neon embroidered organza skirt
If stopping traffic is your thing, then so is this skirt
Statement embroidered skirt from Simone Rocha SS13 collection 

Maybe something a little more subtle...


The general rule for neon, I believe, is that if it makes you feel a bit sick, it's probably a good thing.
