Dayglow and neon apparel used to be reserved for crazy concerts or frat parties; now however, people are incorporating neon into their everyday outfits. This is one trend that I personally LOVE. While it is not as big this year as it was last year, I still see designers making neon pink or orange pumps, and J.Crew is still creating neon azalea blouses and sweaters (personal favorite). This trend is also one of the more easy ones to wear and make your own. All you really need is something neon. Then pair it with some neutral colors so you don't look like your a walking add for a Dayglow concert. Some great neon pieces that I love are neon pink or blue blouses, they look amazing with dark or white jeans and can be dressed up or dressed down. I am also a big fan of neon ballet flats or sandals. They are very fun and summery and they will also bring out your tan! Another neon thing that I absolutely adore is neon pink nail polish. I wear it all the time in the spring and it brings out your tan and adds a subtle pop of neon to every outfit without being trashy.
Another great thing about the neon trend is that it can be preppy or hipster. You can really wear this one however you want. It also doesn't limit you like some other trends will. The '70s trend and the '20s trend are great however they can be very limiting in some aspects. Neon however, is much more interpretational. Anything bright or neon will work and will look good with a lot of things; and you don't have to go all out neon to pull it off. I actually suggest that you don't wear all neon.

#ColoredDenim
This trend has been stuck around for a few seasons now but I love it. Standard dark wash denim is very versatile and you can pretty much wear it with everything. Colored denim is a little trickier however, it is still just as versatile as denim if you know what to wear it with. My favorite color for bright denim is a bright blue such as J.Crew's toothpick jeans. http://www.jcrew.com/womens_category/denim/toothpick/PRDOVR~62443/62443.jsp
This color is definitely wearable in winter and summer. In the colder months you can tone it down with a dark sweater and dark shoes. A black or brown cozy sweater would look amazing with black or brown leather boots. You could also wear dark ballet flats or ankle booties. I recommend wearing a leather jacket or peacoat with a chunky scarf to finish the look.
When the weather gets warmer however, you can rock a feminine white blouse or a natural colored one. Roll up the bottoms then throw on a pair of ballet flats or sandals and your outfit is perfect for spring. To spice up the look add some silver or gold jewelry (whatever works with your outfit) and your set.
If you're a little more daring you can wear a printed top that works with the color of your jeans.
