I Love This Look: Summer Neutrals


I used to fear the color khaki - I thought that would completely wash me out (I am a very fair with blonde hair), but I realized after owning a piece of this colored clothing that it is a great neutral, almost like a gray and is very easy to wear. I absolutely adore this khaki drop-waist dress on blogger Elin Kling - paired with boots of the same hue and accented with black, it is the perfect summer outfit.  

I hope that everyone had a nice weekend, it was beyond sweltering here in New York, but time with the family was well-spent. It involved walking around the Brooklyn Bridge, taking breaks in coffee shops and a cook-out on Saturday night. I am looking forward to some beach time this week. Happy Monday!

    I really like the boots, just the right heel and it pairs so well with the dress and bag. What style!
