Neutral Colors are Stylish!!

I know what you are thinking...neutral colors are stylish?  No way!  But yes, they are!!  And they are great for summertime.

With hot weather all over the United States, who wants to put on something dark, something black.  That's why neutrals are the best way to go. 

A monochromatic neutral outfit is not boring.  It is not dull.  And it is not bland.  It is stylish, cool and comfortable.   Try shades of beige, light gray, nude, khaki, light mocha, ivory and tan.  Mix and match the textures and fabrics to keep the outfit up to date and on trend.

So many designers and stores are showing this neutral trend for summer.  Club Monaco has an elegant silk georgette flowy dress, and French Connection has a great strapless paillette dress.  Rebecca Taylor offers a vintage cotton crocheted dress that will inspire the inner hippie in you.  How about a cotton string knit lace up sweater by Vince!  And J. Crew offers the perfect cotton pencil skirt for work or dress.  Or just go to Target, my home away from home.  Their Converse One Star line has a fun, light taupe sleeveless summer dress, which I found on the clearance rack.
As for accessories, try to pair your neutral look with metallics, whites, golds, and smoke grays.  But please don't over accessorize!!!  Keeping it simple yet cool is the way to go!

Enjoy your day!!!
