The neon trend has been around for a while and will be up and coming even more this spring and summer.
A bright neon yellow for my age group? Well, at least not in big doses for me. Less is more.
However, if you get the right balance by adding bold colours to neutral, sophisticated pieces you can create a modern and stylish appearance at any age!
Be careful with neon high heels or nail varnish as both can easily look cheap.
If you are not quite sure, rather go for a fresh lime green, a soft pastel yellow or even a warmer hue of yellow than a real neon as it can make a more mature skin look pale.
I love the silky texture of this tunic dress and I am wearing it with black opaque tights and heels which is always nice and make your legs look longer (I am only 5′ 4“).
It is a sheer and flowing fabric and that’s why shape-wear is the key! How do you feel about shape-wear? I have a selection in black and nude and feel much more confident when I am wearing form fitting clothes. Chose high quality from Spanx or shop on a budget from H+M.
Neonfarben sind schon eine Weile aktuell und werden im Frühjahr und Sommer noch stärker kommen.
Eine derart intensive Farbe für meine Altersgruppe? Ich bin vorsichtig, denn weniger ist in diesem Fall mehr.
Auch wenn ich normalerweise nicht so farbenfreudig bin (ich arbeite aber dran!), mag ich es, kräftige Farben mit neutralen, edlen Tönen zu kombinieren. Das sieht chic aus und ergibt einen trendigen und modischen Touch für jedes Alter!
Aufpassen würde ich bei neonfarbenen, hohen Pumps und auch bei Nagellack, denn beides sieht ganz schnell billig aus.
Wer sich bei der Farbwahl nicht ganz sicher ist, sollte bei Kleidung und Accessoires auf ein knalliges Neongelb verzichten und eher auf frisches Apfelgrün, zartes Pastellgelb oder auch einen wärmeren Gelbton ausweichen. Neongelb lässt den Teint schnell blass wirken und ist dadurch für reifere Haut nicht unbedingt vorteilhaft.
Aufgrund des seidigen Materials trägt sich mein Kleid sehr angenehm. Ich trage es am liebsten mit einer glänzenden, blickdichten Strumpfhose und schwarzen Pumps. Optisch wirken meine Beine darurch länger – ich bin nur 163 cm groß.
Der Stoff ist sehr fließend und ich trage darunter ein figurformendes Unterkleid. Wie steht Ihr zu figurformender Wäsche? Ich habe eine Auswahl an schwarzen und hautfarbenen Unterkleidern, -röcken und taillenhohen shorts, wenn ich enganliegende Sachen trage. Spanx und H+M bieten eine gute Auswahl zu unterschiedlichen Preisen.
I recently came across these fabulous cartoons by Denise Dorrance about fashionistas and working mums and couldn’t stop laughing… 😉 I hope you enjoy them as much as I do.

You have a lovely blog!! I thoroughly enjoyed your last few posts. You combine great style with beautiful pictures. I like the polyvore (?) combinations as a final illustration. I'm so glad you came by Dross because now I've found you!!
Thank you so much for your lovely comment, Jean! I now linked to Polyvore.
I love colour, all colours.
Fantastic dress and want necklace.

I'm a little afraid of neon myself (maybe it's because that cartoon is a perfect representation of me!), but the little touches in your look are very classy and doable! Love the necklace. You always have great jewelry.

Love the combination of grey and yellow and you've achieved such striking elegance using neon yellow in small doses. I find that I've been buying neon yellow purchases for Spring so your outfit is an inspiration!

Love that necklace! It's just the right amount of neon. I am with you about the neon shoes and nail varnish – too much and cheap looking on most.
So lovely to find you today! I am your newest follower.

I am in LOVE with that necklace. I must have it! Is it current from H&M?
Also loving the cartoon. So great!
Thank you, Susan . The necklace is from last autumn. It is still available on ebay, at least here in Germany. Let me know if I can help. Annette

You did it again…. Looking absolutely stylish and gorgeous. And sophisticated… a state I seldom achieve. Alas. That necklace is so good with the dress (I am a neclace fan). Never would have thought it came from H&M.
I bought a neon pink top. To wear long over skinnies or jeans but also in a pensil skirt. Never thought about my skin complexion but I think it is alright otherwise I would probably have noticed that something was wrong.
Bodyshapers are a way of life for me now. I nearly wear them all the time. I am one size less, no fat bulging anywhere. Perfect.
sehr nettes outfit! die kette unterstreicht den look echt toll!:)

Lovely necklace 🙂
That is an amazing outfit. Love the dress on its own and the statement necklace on its own. Honestly, this is a turn your head look.

My dear friend, happy Valentine´s day from Andalucía. Kiss
lovely look, I love your necklace!
Ich finde die Farben gut gewählt, nicht zu aufdringlich und sehr geschmackvoll kombiniert.
Die Wahl der schwarzen Strumpfhose und der schwarzen Pumps ist genau richtig, farbig wäre es zu aufgesetzt und würde "billig" aussehen.
Formende Unterwäsche finde ich toll, natürlich nicht immer (z. B. wenn man eine Jeans anhat) aber bei leichten Kleidern und Röcken zaubern sie eine tolle Sillhoutte und man fühlt sich gleich viel besser wenn man weiß, dass keine Speckröllchen oder Falten der Unterwäsche hindurch sichtbar sind.
Die Kette ist toll!!
LG
Dana
Vielen Dank, liebe Dana!
Ich fühle mich in schwarzen Strumpfhosen und Pumps sehr wohl, gerade wenn das Kleid ein bisschen kürzer ist – für mein Alter betrachtet.
Genau, bei leichten Stoffen oder anliegenden Stretchkleidern trägt ein formendes Unterkleid zu einer schöneren Linie bei und gibt eine Sicherheit, ohne einzuengen.
LG,
Annette
Übrigens.. ich bin auch 1,63 m groß (klein?) und finde auch, dass gleiche Farbe der Hose/Schuhe.. in diesem Fall Strumpfhose/Schuhe die Beine ein wenig verlängern.
Zum Glück sind gerade extrem hohe Schuhe modern (ob Plateu, Wedges (sogar Turnschuhe!) oder einfach mit normalem Absatz) und ich kann mich etwas "vergrößern". Irgendwie sieht jedes Outfit besser aus, wenn man nur einige cm größer ist.
LG
Dana
Hast Du selbst einen Blog, Dana?
Leider-oder-Gott-sei-Dank nicht..
Ich habe schon sehr oft darüber nachgedacht, ob ich
1. überhaupt so viele Outfits präsentieren könnte damit es spannend und innovativ bleibt und
2. ob ich bereit bin, (fast) täglich so viel Zeit und Mühe reinzustecken wie es nötig wäre
3. ich finde, ich bin nicht besonders fotogen
Alles keine guten Vorraussetzungen für einen gelungenen Blog lach..
Truly stylish…..the color & outfit mix are just so classy!!!
