Neutral Territory

8.30.2012


Valette tank (similar here), 
Pinky Otto sailor shorts (similar style here), 
H and M ring, 
Vintage straw clamshell purse,
Vintage beaded necklace, 
Zara rose gold sandals (loving these ones too). 
When I'm at a loss for what to wear, I tend to gravitate towards monochromatic or neutral-toned outfits. It's hard to go wrong pairing together similar shades of greys, browns, or whites.

I stole these shorts from Micol's closet at the beginning of summer, but like a fool, eventually let them get lost in the depths of my closet. Of course, when I finally wore them out the other day, Micol immediately asked for them back. Snap!

Paired with a splattered shirt (btw, what would you call this pattern - cow print? dalmation print?) and a few tribal-inspired accessories, looks like we've got a little urban safari theme going on here!

    If I ever hear someone say that neutrals are boring I will give them the link to this post.
    I would wear this instantly, if I had legs like yours that is ;)

    Love,

    You can never go wrong with neutrals - They're always super chic. I loove the print on the top (whatever animal it may be!)

    It's time for you to take something else out of her closet! At least you feel free to wear it in front of the exact person you took it from and not avoid her or keep it hidden... ahem sorority girls haha ahem.... Oh college

    I love these gorgeous neutral shades and that you've paired a slightly edgier printed tank with super feminine shorts!
