It goes without saying that fashion is all about pushing the envelope, so when a crop of neon green and pink Marc by Marc Jacobs accessories ever so effervescently greeted me during a jaunt through Macy's a few months ago, I made a mental note and then carried on with my day. But last month at New York Fashion Week I witnessed a group of photographers go into a snapping frenzy at the sight of one attendee's neon green painted toenails peeking out from her black peep-toe heels, thus confirming my theory that we are indeed in the midst of an eighties revival. The key to working this trend without looking like you escaped from a highlighter factory? Limit your outfit to one wow-factor item- a brightly accented clutch or a neon pair of heels, for example- and keep the rest of your look understated. It's all about the element of surprise, so keep things fresh by not going overboard- you don't want your shocking pink handbag to send anyone into actual shock! Go ahead, scoop up Spitfire's neon yellow-adorned sunglasses and shield your eyes- the future's never looked brighter. Go to Elle's Fall A to Zee trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and click on my slideshow for even more fluorescent finds.
