WIW - neutrals only

Astrid

Veteran

I wore the argyle tights with the black skirt again, but this time with the taupe ls tee and my wool cardigan. The tee has been a suprising workhorse since Christmas - I think it is perfect for tucking and the color works out astonishingly well. I didn't expect to wear it as often as I do...

I really like wearing only neutrals for a change. Very comfortable outfit too. I remembered Eva's recent post when she showed us her new necklace, so I added my rarely worn pendant.

This has become something of a signature look for you Astrid, and it really suits you. Love this outfit....neutral colours and style work well, and the colour near your face makes all the difference when you wear black. You look comfortable and happy!

Very nice! I'm a fan of neutrals as well. I love your necklace. I like long pendants because they elongate....especially when worn with a higher neckline.

Thanks DEB! You're right, this is definitely a signature look. And yes, I am rather happy with this outfits and I think it shows when I'm comfortable.

Thanks Marilyn! I'm not sure why I don't wear the necklace more often, I should make an effort to do so.

The tee shirt looks great; it's a really nice color on you. I like your choice of necklace very much. It adds just the right touch of shiny to the outfit and, as Marilyn said, has a striking elongating effect.

*Dark earth,* black and brown. You look fantastic in this. It's really got a lot of natural drama and doesn't need anything else.

Thanks Windchime! I should pay more attention to taupe...

Thanks Rachylou - love the "natural drama".

This works really well with your coloring and highlights your pretty face and hair.

Oh, man, what a great outfit. I do like the neutrals on you, Astrid, and I'm really admiring how this outfit highlights your waist. I think it's the combination of tucking the tee and the color contrast at the waist. Oh, and the long pendant. Subtly flattering!

Thanks Diane!

Thanks MsMaven - and me too. I never wore much brown, but I really like the combination when the browns are cool toned (this ones too, it's just the white balance that is off).

Thanks Shevia!

Thanks Firecracker! You right, what with all the waist surrendering with slouchy pullovers it's fun to show the waist off from time to time.

I have a list.... The taupe is great with your complexion, the contrast between it & black makes this neutral look anything but boring, and your pendant is neat with the ensemble! I hope you find chances to wear it more often (assuming it's not too fussy for your style).

Astrid

Thanks Alasse! I'd usually prefer to leave the pendant off, it's definitely more fussy to wear it than not. But it's alright when I'm in the right mood for it. Depends on the day...

I too am loving neutrals, and this outfit suits you so well. Love your necklace, too!
