Is This Your First Time?

Posted in Daily Outfits, Fashion.

Last week I wrote about SS12’s neon trend and wore a loud and proud neon outfit. Although many of you shared my enthusiasm for eye-blistering brights, lots said they wouldn’t wear a head-to-toe highlighter outfit. So today I went for something slightly more subtle…

If you’re new to neons, grey makes a great base for brighter colours. It’s a softer shade than black, so there’s less contrast between colours and the overall effect is much more refined. And a neutral shade will add a touch of class to even the most obnoxious shade of orange (see my belt).

So now you have no excuse – a sweet and subtle introduction to neons for those with a tendency towards the dark side. What do you think – is this look the one for you?

I love this look, the grey is a great way to tone down the neon brights. I find neon a bit scary to wear, but I might try it now! x

I love this outfit! The lace dress is lovely and the dash of neon just makes it seem more exciting. I do think that grey is the perfect backdrop for brighter colours.

Ok, wow! I loved the full neon outfit but this is definitely more up my street! I love the bright accessories with grey – such a great colour combination!

I’m tempted to say “Neon? I did that in the 1980s so I don’t need to go there again” but I know I will. Loved it then, love it now.

The clutch and belt are perfect with muted grey, Jen! I really like your dress, and might just have to search for something similar, paired with an eye-wateringly bright belt of course! (:

Wow! You just looking beautiful. Really awesome outfit and excellent accessories you have been choose for. Your ring and watch would get good attention. Your dress is too good. You have a great fashion sense.

Love this! I now have this same amazing coat (after tweeting you, thanks for the sizing recomendations!). Totally inspired to get a neon belt. I would love to do this style outfit with bright prink pumps as well. x x
