Dress Beautifully: beige

Beige is All the Rage

Beige is not bland. It's soft and simple. It takes the edge off of harsh white.

Monochromatic ensembles aren't bland either. They're cohesive and showcase the details, like the luster of the satin fabric of this blouse, the cowl neck and high waited shapes of these pieces and the shine and texture of this gold chain belt.

You don't have to stick to neutrals when wearing within a hue. Shades of a color paired together is very pretty. For example, a hot pink pair of pants with a lighter pink top or even a hot pink blouse that has a print detail will create a beautiful and bold look. I'll add that to my list of posts to share :)

I know that a complete white out is not for everyone (it's certainly not kid friendly) but it is my favorite and honestly not as fragile as you think. Just don't have spaghetti for supper!

Dot Dot Dot

Hey gals, so I feel like the blog has seriously been a "..." situation. Like who knows when she'll post again ... sigh I try but if it makes you feel any better I truly am living my best life over here!

I spend my days with baby girl, friends, family basically enjoying all the best life has to offer. And while there are moments where I miss the corporate hustle this maternity leave break beats any accomplishment made in the office. #TRUTH

I do have good intentions to post, Vivian Louise is sleeping through the night every night and I'm starting to get a routine and increase productivity but I will stop it all and soak up the snuggles because babies don't keep!

So for this outfit I mixed a classic polka dot blouse with the come back of beige. I typically don't go for polka dots but I love this version because the base is white (favorite) and the dots are huge making a bolder statement. It's also sleeveless, my go-to, with ruffles for extra femininity and button front so nursing friendly (I can't believe that's my first thoughts when looking at clothes these days).

Remember back in the day when khaki was the 'IT' neutral? We all had khaki pants, just admit it. Well, while I don't believe in bringing those back (go for a pair of chinos in olive, blue or blush) this beige skirt is far from boring. It's a flattering fit, comfortable, with pockets and crazy affordable.

Pair it with tees and saturated colors and its a piece you can wear from work to weekend.
