Neons

For the past few months, a big trend has been neons. It can be very trendy to wear, but if done wrong it will look extremely tacky. The best way to wear neons is to frame the neon piece with pastels. Make sure you avoid framing neons with other neons or mix-matching neons because that will look tacky big time.
