Flashback: Neon

Me and neon go waaaay back. I'm going to guess that around 1990, there was a year of my life when I was wearing neon every day. If you took a peek into my closet, you'd have found:

  • Black bicycle shorts with neon side stripes
  • Neon socks (I'd wear a different color on each foot)
  • A Sun Ice ski jacket (I don't ski). It was full-on neon. Pink, orange, and yellow.
  • Neon scrunchies and banana clips 
  • Those skinny rubber bracelets
  • Too many NKOTB t-shirts (one even had neon lettering)

I was over saturated with neon.

The result.... I'm not really embracing its comeback due to past overexposure - until I found this bag.



Isn't it a perfect pop of neon without being too much? I love that it's yellow! Since I don't like how yellow looks on me for clothes, I can now wear it in an accessory.
