Mixing neutrals.

 

  

One of my new favorite experiments when dressing up is trying to mix neutrals together. 

 I think it can be quite challenging, especially if your neutrals have different undertones (like here) and if you - like me up to a while ago - think that black is THE neutral colour to go.

 

 I think the key in doing that is repeating the colours or undertones in the outfit. 

 I'm not sure I've mentioned it, but my studies were in interior design and sometimes I treat an outfit as I would treat a room.  

 For a harmonious result you have to keep a flow in the colours you use. If you're decorating a room you would repeat your main colours 3-4 times to achieve harmony and  coziness! To apply that in an outfit...

.... I've paired the skirt and greyish top (they both have red undertones), the white-grey cardi with the white top, the jacket matches the green tights and the different shades of brown of the belt, shoes and bag are completing the outfit!

 Given that all these neutrals are kind of boring (at least for me) I went for my funky "Snoopy and Lucy" earrings!!

 

 And a custom made ring with bright-coloured circles!!
