Warning! This spring 2012 trend may warrant very necessary staring, stellar confidence and a John Hughes inspired inner-monologue.

Neon colors are brightening the fashion industry with vibrant pinks, oranges, greens and yellows all shining at high wattage. This look may be well-suited to light up the night out on the town, but can also be fashionable in the daytime. With neon, being daring is not an option. It’s a must. For those who are not entirely comfortable standing out like a dazzling beacon of trendy fashion, an easy way to incorporate the trend in a simple way is through the use of accessories. Even if a fashion maven wants to douse him or herself in neon colors, go for it because as the late Marilyn Monroe once said, “It’s better to be absolutely ridiculous than to be absolutely boring.”
