Neons in spring

Apparently it's spring, and as polar as the weather may be I can certainly feel the style shift beginning.  I for one am starting to pack away my winter wear, regardless of the chill, and am beginning to rediscover my spring/summer wardrobe. Tights are getting thinner, jackets are coming off and S/S13 catwalk inspiration is becoming more prominent day to day. Everything's getting a fresher.

In my opinion nothing says "spring" quite like acidic neons (just ask Osman, Simone Rocha, Sister by Sibling and House of Holland) and as I ditch my A/W wardrobe I can't help but be drawn in. The idea of pulling on a pair of phosphorescent flats is surprisingly appealing! It's safe to say though that neons are hardly the easiest of shades to pull off, especially with my skin complexion. Having bright yellows anywhere near my face truly does nothing for me which got me thinking about how I could style spring's brightest shades to suit me. The best way? Keep it simple. I took inspiration from another of spring's biggest colours - bright white - and twisted the two trends together to form a style that still encompasses the playfulness of neons but in a much more wearable way. Apart from the occasional splash of colour, perhaps in the form of a clutch or some heels, I will be keeping things minimal white this spring.
