Hey everyone!!
How are we all??
Good??
That's what I like to hear!!
Now I'm coming to you later then planned (its 19:10pm); as I have been trying to edit the video I filmed earlier. Unfortunately it kept going out of sync so I gave up and I'm now uploading the original version.
Anyway...
I have something a little different for you today!!
I was originally going to do this post yesterday, but my laptop died on me three times - yeah I know!
Soooooooo...
As I was saying I wanted to do something different and broaden my horizons as well.
So what better subject to approach then Neon!
Now you guys know my opinion on neon and that whole trend. I honestly don't have anything against the neon trend; but let's just say you won't catch me in a rave outfit any time soon. I decided to dip my toe in to the neon trend by purchasing a gold and neon necklace for £3 from Primark. I really like the way the neon accents an otherwise plain outfit, so with that being said I decided to do some research. Now you would be surprised that finding neon jewellery is actually really hard. Well finding cheap tacky neon jewellery is easy (no offence); but actually pretty classy pieces are actually hard. I researched as much as I could and thankfully ASOS, Topshop and New Look pulled through for me. These are a few of my favourite pieces I picked from the selection. I know you're probably thinking 'they're so not you', but I really think these are perfect statement accessories. Now there is no point in me pointing out my favourites, but I'll give you a clue - yellow/green neon is my favourite. Neon has been seen on bloggers, celebrities and on the runway and has dominated the fashion world. Every spring/summer season this trend always comes back to haunt us and to induce us in to a fashion frenzy. I think the one reason I like neon is because it adds colour to a plain outfit, (and you know I love my plain outfits). I'm lucky with my necklace that it has a number of elements - chunky gold chain, diamonds (not real ones), spikes and neon gems. Needless to say I don't like ordinary or plain jewellery. If you are too afraid to try the neon trend then definitely start off small, maybe a pair of studs or stack-able bracelets so it doesn't look too much. There are so many ways you can try the neon trend; but you need to find a way to step out of your comfort zone. Jewellery was stepping out of my comfort zone, but would I actually wear neon clothing - no! (Well unless it was for Eurovision!!) Neon will never enter my wardrobe and be worn in clothing form. I quite like my comfort zone and sticking to it!!
I'm not quite sure if this is a post about, how I feel about the neon trend or how to wear the neon trend or even about the neon trend itself. Either way I hope this post helped in some capacity and if not then at least there is some pretty jewellery to look at.
Neon is definitely something I want to experiment more with - only with jewellery!!
Baby steps...
