Neon colors are very hot this winter. Here’s your chance to break free and express yourself colorfully. What to do with all that black in your closet? Don’t abandon it. With all this color on top you’ll want a neutral background, so pair a bright blazer with a black skirt or pants. Chadwick’s of Boston has an array of blazers in 17 colors. They’re sure to have a color to two that you just can’t live without.
