STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: Get Your Neon

Let’s face it—we all have a little white dress. It’s the perfect summer outfit. You can dress it up or down and really make it your own, or simply throw it on and be done with dressing for the day. Its versatility is a life saver in the hot summer months, a time when all you want to wear is something airy and comfortable. However, it is your accessories that make the little white dress what it is and help you stand out from the crowd.

This Fashionista knows how to make the look her own with vibrant colors and carefree jewelry. Her neon purse, of course, was the first thing to catch my eye. The bright pink against her otherwise light outfit made a statement in the busy streets of Philadelphia, which is no easy task. It also tied in her other major accessory: a pink and turquoise flower crown. By having traces of neon in her headpiece, the bag didn’t look out of place and the entire outfit looked put together despite the bohemian touches, such as a crystal necklace set and brown gladiator sandals.

Neon can be a tricky trend to master because it is so bright and may overpower your other pieces. Follow the lead of this Fashionista and keep the rest of your look simple. That little white dress is a perfect item to start out with. Beginning with a more basic color palette allows for the neon to take center stage without the color being too much.
