Toning It Down



Temperatures have soared back into the 90s here in Washington D.C.  A couple of other bloggers have mentioned wearing neutrals during this summer-like weather in order to "feel" toned down and a bit more like it's actually fall.

Today's Remix Rewear Restyle challenge at Caitlin's blog, Greater Than Rubies, features neutral ensembles...a perfect reason to experiment with toning it down for a more fall-like feel.


In order to add some interest to an all-neutral outfit, I tried not to be matchy-matchy and incorporated black, white, grey and cognac.  I think the patterned shorts add spice to the ensemble as well.

My new necklace (a souvenir to myself from Iceland) was the perfect neutral accessory to complete the outfit!


And yes, I have jumped on the personal style blogger Everlane bandwagon.  These t-shirts are soft and have a great shape that doesn't cling to you.  If you are interested in Everlane t-shirts, I would appreciate if you would follow my link so that I may receive credit to buy more great shirts!

    2. I got the v-neck in navy! It just arrived in the mail today, so I haven't had the chance to wear it, but you'll see it on the blog soon :)
