Neutral Country

By -
Just because the color trend is passing and neutrals are coming back into popularity doesn't mean you have to dress like a bowl of oatmeal everyday. Bold colors and neutrals propose different philosophies of dressing. You want to keep colors simple so they don't overwhelm you. Neutrals involve playing with shape and texture so they don't make you look dull. Because of this, it can be difficult to buy cheap items in neutral colors as inexpensive stores aren't known for playing with design elements as much as high end stores. But I'm sure a savvy shopper like yourself will be able to find some trendy goodies that wont' break the bank.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year.
