Before you even start with 'but isn't the neon trend over?', let me stop you. I have never believed in 'trends' and I always feel such fatigue from hearing "ooh dark colors for fall" or "ahh florals for spring" or "neon is so hot right now." A color is a color, a fabric is a fabric, and it will always exist. Neon is not going to drop off the face of the fashion planet because summer is over. And how ironic that the same 'trends' rotate in the same sense every season. 

That being said, I've wanted this bag for ages but never mustered up the courage to carry a "STARE AT ME" sign on my shoulder. Santa finally dropped it off under my tree and I couldn't be happier to scare off common citizens

  24. I want your glasses! And who cares about trends - I've always liked studs, so I'll wear them even when everyone else stops wearing them, especially then. As you should do with your bag. Which is GREAT. And did I mention that I want your glasses?!
