STYLING NEUTRAL COLOURS
I've always loved earth tones and pretty much anything in nude shades. Now with the Military
trend constantly incorporated in the fashion industry it's interesting to note
that Khaki was inspired by the military and their uniforms. As an advocate
of separate pieces due to their versatility, this beige khaki set right here which has
the appearance of a Safari dress is actually a combination of a skater skirt
styled here and a shirt. I actually purchased the blouse with the
skater skirt in mind and my attraction to both pieces was the button detailing.
Ideally
when styling nudes or neutral colours, I love loud bursts of colours or prints.
Now while I opted for my nude Zara sandals in styling this nude set,
another option would have been olive green booties, brown sandals or perhaps a
burst of cameo print for an edgier look.
So Valentine's Day is tomorrow as we all know and the hype is crazy.
As always with our generation, holidays such as this are slowly losing their true meaning.
A day which was supposedly set aside for people to show love and appreciation has become a commercialized day for us to show our materialistic tendencies while growing the pockets of the many compaines out there. It's a shame though, like Christmas, Valentine’s Day is slowly turning into something else.
Now for all my single ladies, this is not a day to feel sad or pathetic.
For all my ladies with that special someone, take advantage of this day to appreciate those special people. However my two cents on this issue, it's not by force, it really isn’t a do or die affair.
