Take a Break From Color

Tuesday, February 1, 2011

Don’t forget to enter our $150 American Express gift card and KM2 Shoes giveaways!

As excited as I am to bust out the bright colors this spring, I’m equally as psyched about sporting easy, breezy neutrals! Pajama dressing, as you’ve probably seen it called, was all over the spring runways. Think comfortable, fluid styles in ethereal hues. Look to the collections of Michael Kors, Ralph Lauren and Alexander Wang for beautiful examples of this look! My favorite online shopping haunt, Shopbop, also has some fabulous pieces that will help get you inspired to rock this look yourself!

This floaty frock from Modcloth is a bit more on the budget friendly side. It’s BonBon Deal of the Day worthy you might say!

those neutrals are lovely – very soft looking — if only I looked as statuesque as those models!

These look so soft and summery … my favorite is the Young Fabulous and Broke Cabana Tunic. Any of these outfits would feel like nothing more than a breath of fresh air against your skin! Hope you’re having a lovely week, Kristin and thanks so much for supporting Ooh La Frou Frou … much appreciated, darling!

Really love the drapey, flowy frocks!!! especially that Cabana Tunic from Topshop (although my brain is making a permanent sad-face over the pricepoint). Good selections, as usual!

I like the last dress. Very pretty without being too fluffy.

Melissa B. Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 7:09 pm

If I only looked this luscious in my duds! I do have a wardrobe quandary for work tomorrow, though. It’s supposed to be 55 degrees tomorrow in the DC area. What to wear? I’m still in winter, bundle-up mode!

These are very pretty. I like the cabana tunic with the jeweled neckline.

Julia Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 7:37 pm

I think I belong in that first dress. I cannot wait for spring! You are lucky that spring comes sooner in Florida than it does in Pennsylvania!

Daphne Tuesday, February 1, 2011 at 7:46 pm

Love these flowy neutral dresses a lot. I am in the market for some cream/tan color summer booties and I have a couple cream dresses I can’t wait to pair to support the trend.

I love the Port 1961 frock…but the ModCloth one is great too and I can probably afford that one.

I love neutrals!! So great with sun kissed skin and gold accessories. And who doesn’t want to wear something that looks chic & effortless but feels like pajamas ;)

Courtney Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 12:14 am

As much as I also love the bright colors, I am looking forward to the neutral trend as well! I must do some stocking up for once the weather gets better. Plus, with a nice tan, the nude will look amazing!!

You can never go wrong with a pale/neutral dress. They’re a classic. I love the second one.

janettaylor Wednesday, February 2, 2011 at 7:00 am

Me too, nude pink is one of my fave, but I need a black detail because the general effect has been too pale – I think – on me.

I love the soft draping of the first two dresses – such easy elegance!

That Mailu dress has my name written all over it, and begging to be paired with bright heels. oooooh I’m tempted!
