Usually a word I say to describe something boring and lacklustre, like Coldplay. But now for some reason, it&#8217;s a hue I can&#8217;t get enough of. \u00a0As someone who struggles to with black (am I the only one with this problem?!) neutrals have been that go to colour after navy. But sometimes neutrals from tans to beige to brown can be tricky to wear, what with the skin-dulling, frump making effects that they can bring. But fear not! I seem to have mastered the art of neutrals without washing yourself out. Ladies, it&#8217;s all about being tan to toe.<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6890\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_0747 (1)\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?resize=598%2C449 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?resize=903%2C677 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0747-1.jpg?w=1520 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">It sounds like another arm to my &#8216;go bit or go home&#8217; motto but after trying to style up what I thought were easy to wear pieces, I realised the best way to wear them was all together. I&#8217;ve talked about this whole <a href=\"http:\/\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/2016\/01\/matchy-matchup-colour-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\">dressing by numbers<\/a> thing before, but never really thought that neutrals would be included within that \u00a0rule. Really, the key to styling an H2T neutral look is all about mixing your hues and textures to keep you from looking like a giant biscuit. I mixed some classic cashmere with leather, patent and perspex to keep things from becoming too clinical. I mean, it&#8217;s hardly the most inspiring of hues so texture for me was key to bring it all together.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6885\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_0738\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?resize=598%2C449 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?resize=903%2C677 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0738.jpg?w=1520 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6887\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_0740\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?resize=598%2C449 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?resize=903%2C677 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0740.jpg?w=1520 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6881\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"orange hair\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?resize=598%2C449 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?resize=903%2C677 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0722.jpg?w=1520 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-6889\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?resize=598%2C449\" alt=\"IMG_0748\" width=\"598\" height=\"449\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?resize=598%2C449 598w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?resize=768%2C576 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?resize=903%2C677 903w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?w=2048 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/foreveryoursbetty.com\/devsite\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/IMG_0748.jpg?w=1520 1520w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 598px) 100vw, 598px\" \/><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I&#8217;ve been championing this vintage leather jacket from Beyond Retro for over a year now. \u00a0 I love the intense tan colour how it can instantaneously\u00a0lift a whole outfit and give\u00a0a seventies feel.
