MiniPop.

Remember when neon was all the rage?  It’s since faded in trendiness, but I’ve been seeing a few fashion forward femmes folding in mini pops of the color for an unexpectedly fresh look…check it:

Repurpose some of your neon purchases by following the implicit rule above: pair with black, white, or gray to balance the intensity of the hue.  For example, pair these stunning drops (Freida + Nellie, $98) with these TDF dress (Marc Jacobs, $598 — don’t you DIE?!):

Pairs perfectly with these clear, pointed-toe tootsies (Gianvito Rossi, $635) and a classic black YSL pouchlette ($890)

Now, let’s all drool over this Erdem wonder ($2,280):

Finish with these laser-cut patent-and-lucite heels (gasp) from Sophia Webster ($395) —

— and a matte boxy Alexander Wang mini crossbody to further sophisticate and “downtown-ify” the look ($795):

Alternately, this Red Valentino retro styled number ($865)

Exceptional with these unexpected Sophia Webster tootsies ($395) and a classic

Perfection with this lucite clutch ($150):

Finally, thoughts on this black leather dress ($498 — but 40% off with code YESPLEASE!) with this phenom necklace ($150):

Perhaps with these ombre heels (Jimmy Choo, on sale for $487 — but a lower heel version is on sale for less here for $348)

Lastly — a few accessories that caught my eye (headphones — $59; cool girl kicks — Serafini Manhattan, $225; clutch — Clare Vivier, $226; Sheriff&Cherry shades, $165; crossbody — Annabel Ingall, $320):

I really need a pair of Sheriff and Cherries for spring.  FYI.
