It's that time of the year again. The stores are filled to the brim with new season clothes, shoes and accessories, but you're still wearing your winter coat and chunky scarf.
Head-to-toe prints don't have quite the same impact if you need a chuck a cardi over it, and pastels look optimistic-to-the-point-of-delusional against black separates and a grey sky. Also, I'm not just not ready to part with those trusty black opaques!
So how do you work an S/S 12 trend right now? Neon is your friend ladies. Flashes of uber-bright neon nods to the new season and works with your existing wardrobe. Look to Christopher Kane and Roksanda Illnicic's collections for colour inspiration...
