Shock Value!!!

Hello Fashionistas,

So sorry I didn't post the last couple of days, I was sick.  I'm feeling much better now, and ready to get back to writing again.  I hope that everyone has had a wonderful week.  The weekend is almost here!!!  What are your plans?? 

For today, I thought I'd show some ways to brighten up your wardrobe this fall.  Since neon hues are big right now, you can use them to add a little omph to your outfit.

If you're not afraid of attention, then go with a great neon dress!  This orange is flattering on most people.  Just be sure to keep the accessories more neutral.



If a whole dress is a little much for you, try a skirt in a shocking hue.  A mini like this Myne skirt adds just the right amount of colour.



A bright bag is another way to incorporate this trend into your look.  This pink is such a fun girly colour!

And of course, a bold coloured shoe is the perfect way to add just a tiny pop of colour to your outfit.  This is a great hue because it's bright, but not too bright since it's a small amount.



To keep everything proportioned, make sure you keep the rest of your look more subdued, you don't want your outfit to look like it's trying to hard!  You can combine two different colours of brights into one look, but make sure that they are from the same colour family (ex. pink or purple with red, blue with green, etc) or of the same tones (cools or warms).  This is a great trend to show off your personality so have fun with it!!
