Neon Bras

Trendsetter (and one of my personal idols) Gwen Stefani always does it best, and first. During her reunion tour this summer with No Doubt, Gwen sported a look- in accomaniment with her rock star abs- that had me ready to run out and copy in for the club the next day. Alongside her baggy, military pants (which I would never wear) and mohawk made out of messy buns (which I've already copied, don't judge), Gwen dared to rock a bright neon bra underneath her translucent wife beater and it was FIERCE, as Christian Siriano would say. And what do you know? Six months later, Victoria Secret came out with a line of sexy laced bras and bottoms (the word 'panties' grosses me out, so I refuse) in neon colors ranging from orange, magenta, yellow, and of course, Gwen's neon green.

For forty-five dollars, you too can party like a rockstar and add a little bit of crazy color to your standard tank top and jeans look. And you know what? I highly encourage it, because even if you look pasty and white, neon always makes you look like you just came back from somewhere rich and tropical. Here are a few tips about how to rock your new neon accessory that you WILL go out and buy tomorrow from Vicky's:

• DO make sure you wear it alongside a tank top so that the straps are appropriately exposed and not completely aligned and covered by the shirt.
• DO keep your neon to the bra ONLY. If you try to get all hipster and match your pants to it, your ass and thighs will look enormous and you'll just look too matchy-matchy.
• DO buy the matching bottoms if someone will be seeing you like this ensemble on that special night you want to look hot.
• DON'T make your bra neon, see-through, AND push up. You'll look like you have neon traffic cones under your shirt and that's just ridicoulas.
• DON'T wear something low-cut and have the lace in front creep out. You'll look like you're in a line up at the Moonlight Bunny Ranch. And I don't think anyone should have Airforce Amy as their style icon, sorry.

Keep it hot and try a new look this week; and, you get extra kudos if you have the Gwen Stefani-twelve pack to go along with it.
