Style inspiration on wearing neon: A cute Rebecca Minkoff neon bag perfectly slung over a loose T and denim.
Read on for more neon looks I’m seeing around New York…
Striking accents: Her neon necklace is by Sass & Bide.
A playful combo: The spotted backpack against an oversized neon tank
Laid back chic: Neon trim Topshop shoes against a monotone outfit.
The Cambridge satchel: Teamed against earthy tones.
Neon lace: My little mini from TJ Maxx.
I’m letting you in on a long term secret. I shop at TJ Maxx and Marshalls on the side. Not too surprising since I shop high and low (except there I find really high for low $$).
The stores asked me to be a style scout in New York and snap the biggest trend in the city and find it at my local Marshalls. Easy – I picked neons and found these looks all over the streets and in the store (neon sports shorts + knit combo recently tweeted and blogging soon).
When done in small doses neon is pretty. My favourite was the girl in pic #2 wearing an incredible Sass & Bide neon necklace against a leather T (btw she’s wearing MAC M’orange lipstick which I bought right after we spoke). Pic # 4 in the neutral colors and flats: I’d wear that look right now.
Twitter followers saw the designer bag pics I tweeted from TJ Maxx’s new Wall Street branch a few weeks ago. I remember a popular blogger friend of mine asked for the store contact info after hearing about a sold out designer name clutch at another branch for less $$$. That’s why I pop in there every now and then: It’s the designer ‘fix.’
ps. I get constant emails asking me to recommend my fave places to shop in New York (check out my Shop Fix list for some of them). If you’re like me and like scoring current season designer steals then def add those two to your list.
pps. The above neon lace mini is from there (more pics of it in this post).
ppps. I’m curious if you see neons where you live or a completely different trend?
