A pop of neon this season is like 6AM boot camp in Central Park: scary but worth it – and much needed. Whether it’s an electric orange purse or a neon green, oversized top, you MUST grab a pair of neon heels, and get noticed.
So, how exactly do you move to the bright side with ease? Baby steps of course! For those too scared or simply turned off by things that glow in the dark, start with a neutral color-based shoe that reveals a neon heel or sole. You will be sporting full-on neon in no time.
I like to pair neon shoes with a monotonous outfit (all one color) for that spark, creating that, too strong for words, look. If you are in a professional setting and have a meeting to catch than pair these bad boys with dress pants and a blazer for that, I know what I’m saying, look. Searching for an outfit for that not-so-blind date that you met on Match.com? Well, to look as good as your profile picture, dress to impress with skinny jeans, a ribbed tank and a draped leather jacket. Hey, if the date doesn’t go so well, you have already grabbed the attention of the thirty other single guys in the place.
Feeling inspirational? Try this DIY I found at (www.whatwouldashleywear.com) to turn your old kicks into show stoppers.
#1 Start by selecting a pair of shoes that you want to makeover (wipe clean)
#2 Head to the nearby paint store
#3 Use Jacquard acrylic paint or Tulip soft paint for fabrics ranging from silk to denim and leather (don’t forget the brushes!). For plastic, stick with the acrylic paint
#4 Start painting! Start small for a big look and if you are thinking the color may be too strong, you can always dilute with water.
#5 Let dry and get to steppin!
If you love what you see, then it’s time to head online, to your favorite boutique store, or to the paint supply shop so you can achieve this summer’s hottest look. No matter what option you choose, one thing is for sure: you will give both Dorothy and her red slippers a run for their money.
