Spring Trend: Neon Green

Posted by Siofan | Monday March 28, 2011

From full-on neon to washed out acidic brights the colour of diluted antifreeze, no other hue is thawing us out this spring like these electric greens. The colour comes in striking body-con dresses, sweet ruffled shirts, as well as fun accessories, and is surprisingly easy to mix in with your wardrobe. Pair with black if you're unsure of how to wear, something neutral like beige or gray if mixing separates, or break it up with a belt of another saturated colour. We like it mixed in with an otherwise all-white ensemble—no need for a total colour freeze out.

I recently bought a tank top from H&M;that is animal print but light pink, black, with spots of neon green. I bought a Juicy Couture necklace from The Bay last summer and it couldn't be a more perfect match :) I'm also obsessed with bright yellow...
