Non-boring Neutral Shoes

By -
As you know, I'm not a fan of neutrals. Beige is my particular foe. (Can I just take this moment to rant about how much I hate using the word nude as a substitute for beige. Not everyone is the same shade when we're naked or even when we're clothed.) Be that as it may, it's still a good idea to have a pair or two of neutral shoes on hand. Much as I love my reds, purples, and teals, I know that sometimes I need to take things down a notch. Doesn't mean I need to be completely boring though. The collection of neutral shoes below has work in mind. I'd like to think they would elevate any pencil skirt-blouse combo from "I have to wear this" to "You can't kill my spunk."

1. Chelsea Crew oxford, Mod Cloth $60 (so getting these)
2. Mojo Moxy bow pumps, Mod Cloth $70
3. Miz Mooz "Callista" pump, Amazon $129 (People come in this shade, but it's listed as mushroom. Gah!)
4. Calvin Klein "Kathy" fish scale pump, Shoes.com $70 (sale)
5. Nine West "Legna" heel in black and gold, Amazon $55
6. collage heels with bow, Mod Cloth $70

1.Seychelles "Scout" perforated oxford, Amazon $95
2. Rampage "Ludo" studded smoking slipper, Amazon $40
3.Seychelles "Tell Me A Story" polka dot pump, Amazon $95
4. beige mary jane wedges, Mod Cloth $40
5. Miz Mooz "Starla" triple button mary jane, Amazon $129
6. Franco Sarto "Baroque" metallic lizard pump, Amazon $54
7. Seychelles "Night And Day" flat, Amazon $95
8. Chelsea Crew oxford loafer, Mod Cloth $59

Most of these shoes come in more than one neutral and some come in at least one color, so click the links for your full range of options.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
