Neon Lights

The neon trend: I feel as though there is a very subtle line between looking current and looking as though you're ready for 80's night. To keep the look light and casual I love the idea of pairing a breezy all-white ensemble with a pop of neon here or there in the form of accessories and make-up.

And a couple of important key points, in my opinion:
a) keep the whites a little off though so you don't look like you escaped from an asylum - these jeans have a fine pinstripe;
b) make-up as in bright lips or nails paired with natural face - not bright blue or hot-pink eye shadow - hello 80's again.

Here are some fun pieces that I'm currently drawn to:
