How to Wear: Neon

So the other day I went shopping with some ladies. Throughout the day, it seemed as though the more I said neon is awesome now, the more we saw it in the stores, and the more inclined my shopping companions were to jump on the neon bandwagon. Inevitably, I helped one of best friends pick out this awesome neon bag. At first she was hesitant to purchase said bag, but when I told her I'd go back to her place later (winky face) and show her how to wear it... she was sold. My excited little model gave me free reign of her suitcase (she's only home for break) to pick out two outfits, one for daytime, and one for the evening...

For the daytime (on the left)... we decided on her favorite black riding boots, dark skinny jeans and a hole-y cream sweater to pair with the neon bag. To incorporate this loud trend, we thought it best for this lovely lady to wear an average-ly adorable outfit and let the bag stand out! I suggested when she goes back to school to try this ensemble out with a printed scarf or leather jacket.

Pour la nuit (on the right)... we decided to take a similar approach.  This time we paired the neon bag with black skinny jeans, black pumps with a chunky heel, and a ruffled neutral top. We both loved the girly-ness of the bag matched with the flirty top. Here, a big 'ol gold necklace would be awesome. I also told her if she is feeling cray cray out at school to go buy herself a cool neon top in a pink or orange to wear with the bag.

Now you try!
