Bonjour tout le monde! It’s been a while since I’ve posted as life and career have gotten in the way a bit. However, I learned some disturbing news this past week that demanded my return to Shanna’s blog. If you’re standing up (which would be kind of weird considering you’re on the internet reading a blog, but w/e…), you need to sit down.
According to Marie Claire, Woman’s Wear Daily, and oh, just a little thing called New York Fashion Week, NEON is the Spring 2012 trend.
Now, there are varying degrees of neon. It can be tastefully done as is the case with some of the major designers this season (i.e. Michael Kors, Missoni, etc.). I don’t mind the occasional pop of blue or neon pink in a print. It can liven the ensemble up and is just enough to bring attention to you. It becomes a problem when you wear a neon yellow shirt, with neon green pants, with neon orange shoes, and a neon blue hat. You’re overdone. You just blinded me. And you look like a douche canoe.
For reference, this is what you should NOT wear:
So before you strap on those neon yellow high tops, your favorite knock-off Rayban sunglasses with neon green bows, your neon orange tee, and neon blue pants, ask yourself: Do I look like the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? If your answer is yes, tone it down. Everyone is going blind from neon overload.
This has been a public service announcement regarding neon.
P.S. If you want the above jacket: 1) Slap yourself 2) Slap yourself again 3)It’s on Etsy.
