While I love color, and feel my best wearing color, you have proven that a neutral outfit can be very chic. You’ve shown that by mixing the right neutrals, an outfit still has visual interest and looks very put together. I’m going to use your ideas to build a few outfits from my own best neutrals in my closet. My combinations would include ivory, camel, and chocolate brown. And the suggestion of shoes in your skin tone is a good one – it’s easy to make outfits using skin tone shoes. I think Naturalizer offers the same pumps and sandals in something like 6-8 different skin tone choices.

Talbots -i love them and have shopped there for years. I do love that their sizing is very accommodating, as I am a petite. A couple of your commenters mentioned that Talbot’s also offers colors for all seasonal palettes, and I have found that to be true. I’m an Autumn, and have found they have carried chocolate brown, teal, ivory, coral, and a few other colors I can wear very well. The current offerings seem to be better for Springs (tangerine, geranium pink, spring leaves), Summers (lilac, blue iris, wisteria) and Winters (sapphire blue, pure white, black), but I always keep my eye on their new inventory. Plus, as you said, all their looks are classic – timeless, really – so they’re real wardrobe builders.

Great post!
