Everything neon, albeit in small doses, is extremely chic for summer 2009. Don’t just take my word for it — the spring 2009 runways were rife with neon solids and prints, from Louis Vuitton to Lacoste and Max Mara. It’s high time you participated in the trend too, but let’s not go overboard. The perfect way to spruce up your wardrobe would be with a bit of neon accessories in the form of footwear. I’ve picked some hot summer styles to help you get the neon look without going too 90s neon:

March 17 marks another St. Patrick’s Day, and if you don’t want to get pinched and accused of not appreciating the festiveness of the day, then you better wear a little green to garner the luck of the Irish. Here are my favorite gorgeous green shoes:
Be the queen of any St. Patrick’s Day parade with these sassysandals from Hollywould.

If you’re planning on attending an outdoor barbecue and throw back a couple of green beers, these wedges from Frye will look great with a denim skirt or a pair of capri pants.

Guess Carrie shoe is popular, classic and versatile. They’re sexy enough for date night yet classy enough for the office. Since St. Patrick’s Day falls on a Tuesday these green snakeskin pumps will take you from a day of work to an evening at your favorite Irish pub.

Cowboy boots always add a bit of ruggedness to a wardrobe. Frye–the best name in cowboy boots–never ceases to provide classic styles that will give any outift a western vibe. You don’t need to go all out with a plaid shirt and jean skirt–try pairing your cowboy boots with a simple jeans and tee outfit that will take you through winter. Also be sure to check out Frye’s sandal collection, in which brown leather is accented with soft colored stones for a look that will take you from cruise season through summer.
