Outfit log: How to Mix Neutrals
While I am all for color, neutral combos delight me like no others. And since my outfit today is another repeat, I thought I'd share these three recently worn neutral mixes with you.
First up is a black dress with gray spots, topped with a sweater (so that it appears to be a skirt). I chose black tights because I liked the gradient effect the outfit was taking on, shifting from all gray up top, mixed gray/black in the middle, then all black at the bottom.

The tights choice in this combo was also intentional. I'd combined the oatmeal sweater with the cream-based leopard print skirt before, usually finishing off the look with black boots (which pick up on the leopard spots). This time I kept warmer tones by choosing brown boots, but added in a cool splash by way of gray tights.

And last but not least, my favorite dress with the same gray tights-trick as before. I really do love a pop of gray against browns!
