"Neon Flowers" sounds like the name of an American drag queen. I imagine her to be around 6'2", a bit burly, has a loud personality, wears neon wigs and is often garbed like a space cadet. She could follow the footsteps on Nina Flowers and join Ru Paul's Drag Race.
But no, this isn't about a drag queen. It's about clothes.
Neon colors and floral prints might sound like an odd pair. But thanks to some pieces I found at Greenhills and SM Department Store, I discovered that it can be a visually interesting ensemble.
Like this one:
The top is one of those neon-colored tops that I found (and bought) in Greenhills. What's nice about this shirt is that its fabric is a bit nubby, which gives it that aged and worn look. For this ensemble, I chose the neon orange version. (Which I initially thought was neon pink, but turned out to be orange.)
I paired the shirt with this skinny, floral trousers from SM Department Store. Unlike the usual floral trousers that are loud and bright, this one is a bit more subtle. The canvas is this oyster colored fabric, and it has this watercolor-like floral print in a muted palette. There's actually some orange in there somewhere, which is why this particular top works well.
The result is an ensemble with balance. A bright top with paired with a muted bottom. A patterned pair of trousers with a plain shirt.
See, neons and florals can work together.
