I feel like this dress proves that fashion repeats itself. I got this dress three years ago when neon wasn’t even a “thing” and it has survived half a dozen closet clean-outs since then. Three years later and these bright neon colors are everywhere and I’ve seen similar versions of this dress sprinkled in different stores. I originally paired this dress with bright pink pumps, but it was a bit much, so I went with… you guessed it, nude heels!! (I know, I know). So what does this all mean? Keep a dress if you really like it and invest in nude heels. Or something like that.

Wear Your Sunday Best

I have always loved getting dressed up on Easter Sunday.  It started when I was a little girl, picking out the perfect floral dress for church and breakfast with the family.  Now, I still enjoy getting dolled up on Easter, the perfect excuse to wear a colorful dress and have a fashionable moment.  This year, I went with a neon dress and deep purple necklace.  I kept the accessories to a minimum since the dress was such a vibrant shade of yellow.  This will be the perfect dress for a summer wedding or cocktail party!

Lite Brite

Bright colors, color blocking and neon hues are trending this spring on the runway and on the street.  Thank goodness, because I am pretty tired of my dark tights, boots and sweater dress winter apparel.  Bring on the color!  Neon can be a tricky trend to pull off requiring a balance of brights and neutrals.  To avoid the 80’s look, don’t pair neon with black.  Stick with navy and nudes.

For just a touch of neon, add a hot hued belt to a black and white dress for just the right amount of “pop!”
