Beige-ing

I think beige is a very sexy color.  The color never goes out of style, it works with everything and if worn properly, it can brighten up your complexion and lift you up.  If worn as shoes, it can look as if you are not wearing any footwear but also at the same time pull together an outfit. 

Here are a few beige examples: dress, shoes, head-to-toe, as accessories or accents.

I think wearing beige or nude colors head-to-toe is absolutely pretty.  It is subtle yet pulled together.  Nita's outfit is from H&M, and I do love H&M!  It is high street and very affordable.  You get the designer styles at reasonable prices.  What I also like about H&M is its wearability and how you can tranform the pieces from morning to night just with accessories.

 
Here I am wearing a camel colored dress, but have beige as accents on my shoes (beige trim) and as a cape.  The cape is a nice add on as it brings the 50s look back in but at the same time keeps you warm when the aircon is too cold.  It is also easy to take on and off - you can look stylish yet have something functional at the same time. (Dress: Mango, Cape: GG<5, Shoes: Primavera) 

Beige can also be worn independently as accessories, either bag or shoes.  It does not really have to match the outfit or any other accessories you are wearing but I think it gives a warm, relaxed tone to your outfit while still pulling it together.  It can also be worn as a camisole and it gives a deeper V-neck impression without you having to go nude :-)
