Spring/Summer 2012 Trends for Less: Neons and Brights

Hello, readers! Today I will be sharing some Spring/Summer trends that you can get for less than runway prices. A major S/S 2012 trend is NEON NEON NEON. Hopefully we won't get all the way overboard and back to the 80s, but I think I can find a way to incorporate it into your wardrobe.


If you haven't seen it all over the runways and streets already, I'm here to show you. Here's how some ladies wore neon:

Pops of neon on Christian Siriano Spring 2012

The key to looking good, but not over the top, whilst wearing neon is not to mix too much neon together. Imagine a neon pink dress, bright green hair, blindingly bright cobalt stilettos, and rainbow bangles up and down your arms. I think that equates to Nicki Minaj. ;)

If you want to try out the trend, but are a bit intimidated, start small. Go with bright nail polish, or jewelry. Here are some you might like:

China Glaze in Pool Party for $7.00
American Apparel NEON Nail Polish in Neon Green for $6.00
ASOS Neon Pack of Three Coil Ring for $3.48
Neon Feather Chain Earrings from Forever 21 for $5.80
If you're a little more confident, we can start going for headbands, belts, and shoes.

Neon braided headbands 1 dozen for $16.00
Mix No. 6 Daphne Sandal for $29.95
Skinny Belts 3-pack for $7.99
And for the tops and bottoms, please don't go too over the top. If you pick to wear a neon staple, don't wear anything neon besides that. It will overwhelm you, and a little goes a pretty long way.

Neon Fluttered Collar Shirt for $17.80
Sleeveless Tie-Front Shirt in Neon Berry for $29.90
Pucker Seamless Mini Skirt in Neon Pink for $9.99, regularly $14.50
Neon blue shorts for $26.99
Thanks for reading, as always, and keep reading for more trends for less! These are fun to write... Hehe, shopping time! See you next time!

Your rambling beauty lover,

Mai
