The Trend
People in the know are pretty into this neon thing these days. I can’t pretend to be opposed to this. I grew up with Lisa Frank. So as a nineties kid, yeah, I’m all about this new neon thing. Luckily some people at fashion week agreed with me. Don’t ask me who, because I can’t be bothered to look them up. I just know I saw pictures of neon people walking down runways and said “wooohoo!” And now I’m writing a blog post about it.
How to Wear it
Preppy
Maybe your inner That Girl is actually prep-tastic (a word that I used to use on the regular circa 2005). Go with neon accents. Or if you’re in a sorority, I hear those girls like neon things a lot, so you’re probably way ahead of the game.

Professional
There is also this mad possibility that you are in some sort of professional environment. I mean, some of us had to wear “business casual” in high school. For those of you (don’t worry! Graduation happens eventually!), you can absolutely be a neon-rocking boss anyways.

Hip Music-festival Attending Cool Girl
If you’re cool enough to wear all of this you really shouldn’t be reading That Girl Magazine because you are too busy with your friend the dubstep artist and his girlfriend who knits neon mittens for children in uganda. Just stop being so cool. It’s overwhelming.

Anything you buy from these links sends me a little bit of cash, so if you’re opposed to that on some moral level, feel free to google these things yourself. But I’d prefer you use my links, because I’m in college and therefore broke. You get it.
