THE SCOOP - on Neutral Tones and Metallic Mix!

I know a few pals of mine who have rejected neutral tones, many times citing that they are difficult pieces to accessorizes.

why not take a bold twist, without the exaggeration, by mixing it up with metallics?  they make for quite a classic look that has ruled runways and daily life, over the years. check out what we have scooped!


Off the runways:

 Credits - Lui Hon - It practically makes me drool when such simplicity is presented in a classy manner and convincing us that this can too be an everyday look




Credits - Reem Acra - the elegant side of the feature. notice how in the 2nd piece, the gold strappy heels brightens the entire outfit without bringing attention away from the excellent cut of the piece


If you are thinking of starting small scale, here are 2 pairs of shoes scouted to start off. Pair them with your daily outfit and I am sure they will be all you'd be looking at all day

Mixing metallics with neutral outfits is one of the safest experiments you can try to spice up your daily wear and offer an interesting angle to your lookers. In my frank opinion, this mix is understated and i would love to see more
