Why all the neon?

So in the last few weeks I have noticed an increasing amount of neon stationary appearing on the market. post it notes, planners, folders, paper, you name it is comes in neon.

Now, I love my highlighters, my collection is growing monthly, I purchased some 'bright' post it notes for highlighting items in my diary but THAT IS IT!

Now, I am looking for some show of hands who agrees with me on this controversial statement. NEON IS TACKY!!!!  

 

 

Even Filofax have jumped on the band wagon of neon, seriously????

 

I envision Filofax as a classy English brand that professional people tote around the fancy streets of London. Not an insane hue of colour that is neon....

 

Brace yourself; here is an example -

 

 

 

 

 

I am sorry, but how is this classy???

 

 

It can never compete with the classiness something like this binder from Filofax.

 

 

 

 



 

 

Now, I can imagine a professional person carrying this during the lunch break from their fancy office job in London.

 

 

 

So there you have it, my rant is over. I know many people won't agree with me, and I by no means am your typical definition of classy. (A fancy Filofax helps though, right?). I am not writing this with the intention of upsetting anyone, I am hoping that I am not alone in the thought of this.

 

Now I will go an drool over some muted colour Filofax's. :)
