Neutral Wardrobe? Say Summer with Accessories! + Fashion Flash!
It is finally, officially summer…a season associated with pastels, neons, florals, flip flops! So, what is a woman to do if her wardrobe has grown to be predominantly neutral?
That is when you say the season with accessories. Here is an outfit I have worn here before, but just accessorized differently with a summer necklace and sandals. This summer I have seen more and more women wearing black looks, and I was encouraged since my style is now heavy into blacks, browns, grays, and whites. For the most part, I avoid pastels and wear more saturated colors.
Fun summer necklaces and scarves are a more subtle way to say SUMMER! As well as sandals and open toed shoes!
Another way to refresh you look for the summer months, is to get regular manicures & pedicures. Keeps the dry skin away and our midlife-plus toes wear bright colors spectacularly!
I feel just as summery as everyone else in my black. Neutrals are summer chic!

I tend to not wear black very often. I live in the gray Pacific Northwest, so I gravitate toward color in my wardrobe. Love your necklaces, and your nails look so pretty!
I'm a great lover of neutrals and never tire of it. Often times I enjoy wearing desert colors that mimic the terrain. For me, neutrals are soothing.
Love your sandals!!
You look great! I love turquoise with black. So chic! Have a great week Pam.
I agree with everything you are saying…I love black for summer!

I like black any time of year. I do wear a lot of white, color and pastels, but…there's nothing like a little black sundress! Debbie @ ilovemylemonadelife.com
Wow, FABULOUS turquoise necklace!! Love those sandals too.
I wear more color in spring and summer, but still use the neutrals/black a lot too. I think I lighten up because so much of the year where I live is cold and dismal. When spring truly comes, it's like you run for the lighter colors with glee! I wear white jeans a lot, and love to pair these with bright colors and some pastels. You have done a fantastic job summerizing black! Love the necklace and you are so fortunate to have beautiful nails!
I do a lot of neutrals too, and I love this necklace. Great shoes too! xo
This is one of my favorite outfits from you dear 🙂
Your necklace is awesome! This beautiful color! Great choice 🙂
have a happy and sunny Monday too

I have found that turquoise necklaces are like a neutral too. Don't they just go with everything. Want to find one like yours, so beautiful!
I am with you Pam!
Lately, I am wearing black, navys, white and turquoise, a lot! Accessories are the key for sure!

Black is a staple in my wardrobe. I wear it all year round. In Calif. we don't always have season, so it is a free for all. I would physically have to go into my closet to count all of the black tops and pants I have! I change out my tanks all in neutral colors, and my necklaces/pendants, etc. I also love navy, but only have 3 tops, and wear them with white capris. I have quite a few tops like the one you have above. (To cover some bumps. lol) As always, love your blog.
Love the shoes! I agree I still wear black and navy but do accessorize with lighter colors.
A good idea, polish your nails and wear summer necklaces on a neutral base. Very elegant. You look good.

Love that necklace! xo Andrea
