I am a child of the 80's or should I say I was a child in the 80's. I remember slap bracelets, wearing four pairs of "scruchie" socks all in different colors which of course matched what you where wearing. I also remember L.A. Gear, New Kids on the Block, and unfortunately neon clothing. See neon clothing and I never truly became friends because I wasn't really sure even at the age of 12 that I needed to poor myself into some florescent orange spandex bike shorts and my mother wholeheartedly agreed. However to still be fashionable I did have some neon socks that I liked to rock until a very unfortunate accident at camp one summer that I try to forget but that is a story for another blog.
My point being in all of this neon talk is that it's back and back with a vengeance I might add. I have seen it at the gym, at the pool, going out with friends, and even gracing the runways of many well known designers for their Spring 2012 Collection.

While I think all of the above designs are stunning they make me wonder if the everyday woman can still pull off the neon look. What do you think? Is there an age range for neon? Are you all for a lot of florescent or just a touch here or there? I personally think that accessories in neon could be fun like below.
Hmmmm no socks.....maybe that is a good thing!
