They can be pinkish, yellowish or greenish. You might experiment with shades. You might also pay attention to texture when doing an all neutral outfit. I like for one piece to have some shine. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-neutrals#post-105073 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:39:07 +0000 shiny 105073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you are talking a gray dress with brown boots, my thought is to pull it together with a gold necklace. The gold will relate to the brown boots. This is what Angie did in her blog post on wearing sack dresses with slouchy boots. I was taking lots of notes on that one, as I have never paired brown boots with black dresses!! </p> <p>I just recently purchased a long gold link necklace that has black, cream, and soft green stones in it, to help pull together similar outfits. Something about silver necklaces (my usual) with brown boots just doesn't work. I imagine the same goes for hardware accents on your handbag too. </p> <p>Also it needn't be gold - bronze would probably work too? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/mixing-neutrals#post-105066 Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:12:47 +0000 karlie 105066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've come around the to idea of mixing brown and black. In fact, I love it and am wearing my favorite black dress/brown boots combo right now. I see a lot of gray and brown together, too, and I'm really drawn to that combination. But, as much as I've tried to make it work on me, I can't seem to get it right. </p> <p>Is there a trick to mixing these (or any other) neutral colors, or do my eyes need to adjust?</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
