If you're out to make a statement, fashion statement even, consider seriously for a moment the neon shoe.

Neon is everywhere at the moment, but the best bit about it is that it's not meant to be worn all over the body, like its last incarnation. Instead, it's just a flash here or there - on the point of a shoe, the sleeves of a jumper, with a glimpse of a bag.

That's why neon heels have such appeal. You can wear your neon on your feet and keep the rest of your outfit fairly basic, and voila! Great outfit.

Wear something simple like Nicole Sherzinger here in loose jeans and a tee - the obvious and easy way to wear them.

OR ...

Execute a flash of style brilliance from none other than Rachel Bilson who wore her yellow heels on a talk show with relaxed black pants and a bright blue halter top. Colours that you wouldn't normally pair together, but they're oh SO right in this combo.
