Neutrality

May 15, 2012,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love the look of a bunch of different neutrals paired together. It’s easy to think of neutrals simply as accents to your colored pieces but those blacks, greys, and whites can make a great outfit all on their own. Today I took a geometric print neutral top and threw on a cream colored moto jacket. Add some killer shoes and you have a great outfit!

I got these shoes recently on sale at Payless. I end up having to get a lot of my shoes there because it’s so hard to find size five. I usually jump on designer lines, like the Christian Sirianos I’m always wearing, because it’s something a little different than the usual Payless brands. These booties are also in the Siriano Gold collection.

My suitemates were pretty hesitant at the idea of a fur bootie, but I love them!
