Cloudy with a chance of NEON

I predicted it would only be a matter of time before the forecast would be filled with hot neons. We have had our time with fun brights, soft pastels and earthy neutrals. There was only a matter of minutes before neons jumped in the timeline and this trend is right on target for spring 2012. Don't be afraid to stand out in the colors. My style is definitely going to edging the look out with black. You can also try mixing the colors with each other like greens on yellows or oranges on reds and so forth. Remember to have fun and live it up!

BEYOND NEON

Neon is taking over this season because it's the unexpected. Bright colors in the winter aren't always the go-to making neons the underdog. I say have fun with this trend. Pair the colors with black, leather, metals or with nude colors. Either way your going to look bomb.

Color Blocking

Color blocking is here to stay! This trend isn't going anywhere and I'm relieved because I LOVE it! I mean where do I start. First of all it's so much fun mixing & matching colors. Second it's a great way to spice up your wardrobe. Lastly color blocking allows you go in your closet & recycle already owned pieces. But the best part is that when this trend is worn in the style of a dress it's a one stop shop. Easy! Right?


The Little Mesh Dress

Mesh can be so sexy if done right! It's the peek-a-boo to cut outs. This trend is going to be taking over and when it does it's going to be HOT! In order to be fashion forward in this look I suggest being minimalist. Remember to keep it simple and chic so that you don't come off as offensive.

The Cold Shoulder

I've notices that dresses with unique shoulder designs are in this season. Since when did turning the cold shoulder become so hot. This particular style adds a touch of sexiness yet edginess to your look. The only advice I would recommend when wearing this trend is making sure either the style or color of the dress is subtle. Too much can become overkill and that readers is a no, no.
