'Notice Me' Neon

Lanvin pumps £285

There's been a fashionable resurgence of late, which is completely at odds with the prescribed 'vintage-revival' vibe as dictated by the fashion heavy-weights at Chanel, Chloe and Marc Jacobs.

Slowly but surely sparks of neon-bright colour are being drawn into the summer wardrobes of thousands of women. Especially in shoes.

Brian Attwood loafers £225

Perhaps it's the remainder of  fluorescents in last summer's futuristic and slightly space-age designs (Judy Jetson-style as we termed it) . Maybe it's an on-going reaction to the advice from last winter that we should all 'colour-block, dahling' - I don't know about you, but it's an epic quest to find any sort of print in my wardrobe now!

But personally, I think it's all about Summer. It's a season that evokes more rays of sunshine, literally and metaphorically, than any other. Why should we be kept in dowdy, neutral colours when  we feel like we should let loose?!

Summer holidays, trips to town and lazy days in the garden mean that we're allowed to have fun with our style. Mixing and matching for convenience or fun, mean that we can experiment. And even the most reticent of women can feel 100% more fabulous if she is wearing something that makes her smile.

The easiest way to experiment with neon is to find an everyday staple and change it up, and what's more 'every day' than the humble ballet pump. We all have them sitting in our wardrobes, just waiting to pick up the slack on any outfit.

With these cute pumps from Keith Scarrott, not only are they in fabulous colours but the style is so obviously pretty! (£89.95 HERE) At a snip compared to most designer prices, they will take you through all summer, whether with flirty skirts, shorts, linens, crops, skinnies... Well, the list goes on.

Have some summer fun and give neon a go! You know you'll want people to notice them.
