As much as I love color in my outfits, sometimes it's nice to just rock some neutrals. I've been avoiding button-down shirts for a while since they don't always look very flattering on me (a conversation that I had with Rad while she purchased this shirt, oddly enough), but I took Sal's suggestion of belting a button-down shirt, and that seems to have added some much needed definition and detail to a plain black shirt. Not content to go entirely neutral, I added a pop of color with a green beaded necklace.
How do you spruce up your neutrals?
