When it comes to neutrals, I am a grey girl through and through. But I've noticed a lot of beige tones in fashion and home decor this summer, specifically sand (it was one of Pantone's spring 2014 colors). And I realized that I've been ignoring it for much too long. It may not be the most exciting on the color scale, but it brings a nice balance to just about any bold color with which you pair it. Sand also, of course, brings to mind the beach and summertime, which are two of my favorite things. So before summer starts to wind down, I decided that I just had to pay tribute to this very current summery shade (which also happens to be a great transition color into fall) via a Color Love post.
What are your thoughts on sand (or beige tones in general)? Too boring, or the perfect neutral?

Sand Tropez is one of my very favorite Essie colors! Such a great neutral. - sarah
ReplyDeleteI love the scarf! I think this color works well as a base color so you can add lots of other color to it. Or as an accent color. That keeps it from being too boring :)
ReplyDeleteNeutrals forever! You can never have too many as far as I'm concerned. Half the time I don't even both with an accent color if I'm wearing all neutrals. :-)
ReplyDeleteI used to wear a lot of sand in the 90s! Those Mary Janes look comfy :)
ReplyDeleteThe tote bag is so cute! I love the zippers on the side of it.
ReplyDeleteLovely neutral! Love the bag and the nail color!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to neutrals - and non-neutrals, for that matter - I'm a black, white and grey kind of girl. I love the look of sand, especially in hats, but it's so similar to my skintone that I end up looking, well, nude when I wear it! I can picture these pieces looking just lovely on you, though.

Oh my, I love neutrals, no doubt about it. I've been living in greys & blacks all summer. However, I'm loving the idea of adding more beige tones. That bag has definitley stolen my heart!! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI'm a grey girl too! But I think I might need that tote bag. :)
ReplyDeleteCool tribute, that scarf is awesome!
ReplyDeleteLove the scarf -- and the bag!
