Going Au Natural

What color is perfect to wear while making the transition from Spring to Summer? Anything is a nude hue! Natural tones are just as in as neon colors are right now. What's also perfect is that these natural shades are neutrals, just like black, white, gray, etc. This means you can match a nude tone up with just about any color.

Try matching a nude colored dress, tunic, or skirt up with a pair of black leggings or tights. A natural toned top would look great paired with some colored jeans. Nude pants or skirts would look good paired with a shirt that has a fun print like polka dots, sublimation, ect. Pair some nude shoes with either a dress with a fun print or colored jeans. Carry a natural hued bag on the beach with a printed swimsuit. Wear a nude colored jacket or vest over a neon top. Pair one of the natural colored straw hats with a plaid shirt, some ripped jeans, and a braided belt for a western-inspired look; also, be sure to have fun with your make-up. Try some blue eyeshadow, red lips, purple nail polish, ect. Try mixing and matching some of my ideas, or even better come up with some of your own! Like I stated before, you really can't go wrong with this hue. The only thing I would suggest not doing is wearing a nude color from head to toe. Otherwise, you might end up looking like you're nude yourself. Tell me if you have any more suggestions on how to wear this shade. E-mail me at Charmed42787@gmail.com or send me a message on myspace.
