Put A Cork In It

5/17/2012

The great thing about warm weather is that our wardrobe gets a little brighter. There are so many fun summer trends going on right now, with all the neon and floral prints, it’s hard not to over do it after you’ve been wearing black all winter. A perfectly put together outfit, however, is one that is balanced and doesn’t make your eyes spasm trying to take in all the colors and prints. The obvious way to add balance is to bring in neutrals, which sometimes can seem boring. Chances are your favorite pair of shoes is not your nude leather pumps. So let me introduce you to the new neutral, cork! Cork is a wonderful way to balance an outfit because it adds texture and interest without dominating the outfit. Neon shoes paired with a neon dress fail because each piece is fighting for the attention. Cork works with your bright wardrobe and adds tasteful edge to neutral accessories.
