Neutral Accessories

How to style neutral accessoriesBlack has always been my go-to neutral when it comes to accessories. But, there are some colors that just look better with brown or tan. I still love the idea of coordinating neutral accessories like this belt and booties. Belting a long, flowy dress is one of my favorite outfit formulas all year long. In the winter, tights are a must, and I can confirm that Sheertex “indestructible” tights are worth the hype and the cost. (Style hack: If you’re worried about being cold, wear these nude fleece-lined tights underneath!)

This post was originally planned for Monday, but then the adults in our house got hit with a terrible stomach bug Sunday night. Seth had something very mild on Saturday, which he likely gave to us, but ours was far from mild. Thankfully, we’re feeling better, and we would rather have the worst of it than him. Needless to say, this week has been a little off, and not exactly the fresh start to February I had in mind.

One of my goals for 2022 is to grow this community here and on social media. I’ve been working on creating more and different content, including an email newsletter and more video. But ultimately, I want to provide what you’re looking for, so if there’s anything you want to see more of, please comment here, send me an email, or a DM and let me know. I’m always so grateful for your support and feedback!
