NEUTRAL ZONE

Hello Fashion Enthusiast!

The spring runways were flooded with lots of neutral shades paired together to create a beautiful monochrome look head to toe. For years gray have been given a bad rap and is now a huge trend this season. It has replaced nude as my "neutral" staple. The warm and calming color really adds a pop yet sophisticated air to any outfit. I love mixing blue with gray, but it is an incredibly versatile color that you can wear in many different ways. It looks great with soft pastels like baby blue and pink, it's great to combine with white and a pop of color and looks fresh and modern with brighter colors. I chose to accessorize it with a metallic clutch, light blue denim shoes and clear lucite accessories which are the perfect complement. 

Trends are a great way to get inspiration for your outfit. The easiest way to incorporate trends is to pick a couple key pieces (a dress, jacket, skirt, blouse, or shoe) and mix them with neutral clothes from your closet, simple accessories, and fresh makeup. Head on over to your closet and see which colors and trends are already there and start creating some outfits! 

The spring palette is straight out of the garden. A mixture of bright spring bulbs, daffodil yellows, tulip reds and oranges, crocus purples, hyacinth blue, and crisp spring greens are tempered by the earthy shades of sweet cantaloupe, dogwood pink, fresh wheat, lichen green, and heather gray. 

The earthy undertones of all the shades make wearing and matching them a snap. Pick any 2 or 3 colors, mix them with your favorite neutrals and voila, you’re instantly modern and chic. The look can be classic or eclectic depending on how you put them together. I love this sporty tank dress, the sleek departure is ready to wear anywhere, uptown, downtown or out of town. With the skimming silhouette and endless accessorizing potential it can go from day to night for maximum style with minimal effort. Its cut from a soft matte jersey with side seam ruching that defines my waist, has a flattering neckline and shows off my legs. 

I know some of y'all closets are already stocked with great styles and colors for spring. So just add a few accessories with a little sparkle, metallic shimmer or lucite that's all you need to make a look oh so sophisticated. Dresses abound in every possible shape and length. Choose the ones that fit your style, body, dress-code or mood. Shorter styles allow us to show a little skin and still leave a lot to the imagination. They can also be worn over pants if your legs aren’t ready for that much sunlight!

Remember your style is your story!
