In the buff…

Nude.. Beige.. Tan… Khaki…Ecru 

These are a million names for that delightfully neutral shade that seems to be popping up everywhere these days. The beauty of beige is that it works well with warm tones, as well as cool, and makes the perfect companion for black, as well as white.

Below is a sampling of the tantalizing tans that will keep you looking good through the summer and into fall…

These light khaki jeans are a great denim alternative for summer. A well worn tee and sandals can keep the look casual, while a light colored heel and airy top make a more dressy option.

There is nothing that feels more like summer than a light weight dress with flutter sleeves. This wrap dress has a great cut that cinches the waist and can be very flattering on a larger chest.

If you’re feeling particularly wild this summer, try a buff onesie with a drawstring waist and a fun print.

As you dream of a warm weather wardrobe your mind may wander to accessories and shoes are a great way to experiment. These ultra- modern heels are a personal favorite of mine not only for their sleek shape but for their bold coupling of jet black and creamy beige. * Lawrence by Nine West, available @ http://www.zappos.com  

 

As the summer rolls along, I encourage you to heat up your own look with this user-friendly shade. Not all trends are for everyone but I believe that there is a creamy neutral out there with your name on it.
