late adopter: neon skinnies

Okay, so I’m a little late to the neon party. In my marketing 101 classes, they called consumers like me late adopters. Simply put: we’re not exactly the first in line to buy the next big thing. Case in point: I didn’t have an iPad until about two weeks ago, when my hip (and somehow surpassing me in technology lately?) parents surprised me with one and brought me into the 21st century.

In the case of florescent apparel, I figure I met my lifetime quota of day-glo outfits by around 1996. Once again, it took an act of major clearance to get me to jump on the trend train.

Last weekend, I was on the prowl for swimsuits for a special girl’s trip next month. {Sidebar: swimsuit shopping is just the worst kind of torture.} My hunting led me to Marshall’s, Target, and later to Kohl’s, where I’m powerless against the pull of the seductive 70% off racks. I found these soft stretch ankle skinnies in bright lime green and soft baby blue for $14.50 each and scooped up both pair.

Wearing: LOFT tee, Simply Vera Vera Wang ankle skinnies, vintage necklace (m.marie), Seychelles gold Vulture pump and Romeo & Juliet Couture bag (both via Hautelook)

    I am also a bit late with my neon skinnies I discovered only a month ago. Here where I live though, I was the first to challenge them! I teamed it up with a leopard print tee and got so many compliments!

    Love your outfit and your bag is everything… Great for Spring. I think it’s great that your parents bought you an iPad, lol.

    Great title, late adopter, I love it! I am super late half the time, and I find, if you are late enough, you end up being early!!

    At a price like that I’d say it’s worth it to hop on the trend train a little late :-)

    I’m still deciding on the whole coloured jeans looks so I’m really far behind! Think I’ll just stick to my all round multi tasking black skinnies :)

    A new post is up on Local & Opulent and I have shoes on the brain! Seriously, who doesn’t love shoes. This collection would have Carrie Bradshaw drooling!

    I love the neon trend.. Although I also did wear a lot of it in my childhood as well. My dad made me wear the brightest ski coats,”so he could spot us”. Haha!

      This made me laugh!! I remember when I was little, any time we went on vacation or to a theme park my family made me wear neon so they could easily spot me, “just in case.”

      Finding a piece I’m unsure of on clearance is always a good way for me to dip my toes in the trend water ;-)

    I think I’m going to be a very late adopter with neon, I’m still trying to convince myself to try animal print and florals!! Lovely outfit, as always… you look great!!

    Have a great day,

      You’ve gotta get some leopard print in your life, at least!! ;-) Maybe start with a cute clutch, scarf or pair of shoes that you can add to a basic outfit to get comfortable with the idea of prints?
