Unless you've spent the last six months or so under a rock, you're well aware that neon is a huge trend. While I have been prone to dismiss the idea of "trends" (pshh, my tastes are not determined by popular opinion), they are rather useful, to my mind, in two ways.
- Trends create a sudden flood of thematically-similar products into the marketplace, which can awaken an appreciation for an aesthetic I had previously under-appreciated, and
- in the midst of that flood there are bound to be products that marry the "trendy" with elements I already love, thus providing me the opportunity to broaden my tastes in a way that feels authentic.
Okay, fine. So maybe I'm a little bit influenced by trends.
I have yet to take the plunge sartorially-speaking, and honestly I probably won't; this Irish/Scottish/Western European mutt does not mix well with lime green.
But! I am quite happily indulging, satiating my newfound neon cravings with stationery. Read on to see some of my favorite cards -- all of which are currently available in the shop!
