Bright Ideas: Shop the Neon Trend

Don ladylike neon with Nanette Lepore’s scalloped lace dress. The scalloped fringe accents, fine lace detailing, and cutouts at the shoulder provide feminine features to a fluorescent background. The fading at the bodice downplays the highlighter yellow hue, making it the perfect choice for either work or a date. Cinch a black patent belt over the waist for an edgy look or keep it prim by pairing it with white pumps and a ladylike bag.
