One of the big trends on the Spring runways was neon, like this hot pink mini-dress from Emanuel Ungaro or this colorful ensemble from Dsquared. If you would feel a little awkward and completely inappropriate wearing these outfits to class on Monday morning, you’re not alone. The key to neon is moderation, you don’t want to be channeling the 80s too heavily. It was a good decade for sure, but sometimes you just have to let go.

If you just want to dip your toe into the neon pool, slip on a pair of these patent flats by BC for $38 from Urban Outfitters.

Dresses are by far my favorite form of spring-wear — they’re easy to throw on before class, easy to pull up under rated-R circumstance and best of all, they show off my best asset, the legs.

So obviously when I saw minidresses populating the catwalks I almost peed myself; lovely little frocks in all shapes, patterns and colors … ah, fantastic. Now I can wear really short numbers without feeling like a slut. After all, us lucky 20-somethings are the ones meant to sport the trend. I mean check out the latest pics of Mischa Barton, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan — they’re all wearing the minis.

Although I’d love to splurge for some designer duds, I’m settling for a dress I’ve found at Forever21. I know it’s not a quality version, but atleast I won’t freak out if I spill a cocktail on it.

Check out a few of my minidress discoveries:

Like any self-respecting college girl, I always tote the newest Vogue, Elle, and if I’m feeling especially mainstream-In Style, on the elliptical with me. But as I’m burning the calories, toning the legs, and admiring the duds, I can’t help but wonder how anyone in college could pull this stuff off without being gawked at (and not in the good way) by your typical sweatpant clad college male.

Let’s take Balenciaga‘s Spring ready-to-wear collection. Obviously, gold leggings were the stunner of this show. And why not? They’re totally hot….and $100,000, and one kind of gets the impression not too comfortable.

For a mere $36 dollars you can pick up a pair of gold leggings from your local American Apparel, pair them with a black jersey mini-dress, cute flats, and hit the library in style.
