Is Nude The New Black?

Whether it’s playing the starring role or simply complimenting an already perfect outfit, nude is fast becoming a key wardrobe staple.

There is no better time than right now for nude (or neutral/beige/buff, whichever reference to the skin coloured hue you prefer) to make it’s mark on the fashion scene.  With neon, paisley, metallics and florals taking centre stage on the runway, nude pieces have never been such a wardrobe necessity.  It’s the perfect shoe colour compliment with a bright or ‘busy’ outfit, yet works just as well being the main colour base of your outfit, as you can add beautiful bright pops of colour using on-trend accessories.   I’m a huge fan of teaming nudes with black; and with some of the more feminine floaty pieces – these look great teamed with something a little harder, like a leather jacket and/or a pair of black biker style ankle boots.  it’s near impossible to get it wrong with nudes, because it simply goes with EVERYTHING!

Dark tones of nude make a perfect match for those with a darker skin complexion, whilst light nudes and rosy tones get along just fine with fair-skinned complexions.  Just be careful to pick nudes that aren’t an exact match with your skin color – but that’s pretty much the only rule when it comes to this chic muted tone.

Here are some of my favourite looks encompassing the lastest runway trends, mixed with nudes……

Still not convinced?   Did I mention that wearing flesh-tone heels will always make your legs look longer?

The Miscellaneous Musings Of A Girl Interrupted By Fashion, Beauty & Anything Pretty That Catches My Eye. I am passionately in love with the colour green!! I've always loved green, even as a child. My mother said this would wane as I got older. it did not!! I love nothing more than having the mundane interrupted by all things beautiful and fashionable. Passing time in tiny cafes with a pot of tea and a pile of magazines. Sitting under a tree with my favourite book or ‘old-school’ journal jotting down blogging ideas. Taking photographs of beautiful things, sitting front row at Fashion Week. Giant bunches of fragrant flowers, burning Ecoya candles, vintage jewellery. Trawling antique shops and markets for antique books, writing slopes and jewellery boxes. Hibernating indoors by the fire during winter, laying on freshly mowed grass eating pastries and sipping on raspberry lemonade during summer. The red sole of louboutins, exciting parcels arriving at the door with forgotten online purchases or product samples. Unwrapping the tissue of ‘just bought’ items of clothing from my favourite stores, Marc Jacobs, Karen Walker, Storm, Decjuba, Glassons, Loumina, Country Road, Bobbi Brown, MAC, oh the list goes on… Please do write to me at any time with comments, invites, press notes, media releases, things you’d like me to try and your own favourite finds. There’s nothing I love more than to connect with fellow Beauty Gurus & Fashionistas alike. You can reach me at angie@gurlinterrupted.com Ange xx
