Spring Trends: Nude

Sorry for the lack of posts lately. I took a little break to take in all of that "Obamania" since I knew that everyone would be talking about Michelle's dresses and every single thing Obama did this week..

But I've decided that in honor of new beginnings, I would do a couple of posts on spring fashion, especially since the RTW fall shows are just around the corner. Time really flies doesn't it?

The first trend I'm documenting is nude! At first I was so disappointed to see a lack of colour in some of my favourite spring shows, but I'm really falling in love with this trend. First of all, it's sexy! When worn in particular ways, nude can be a substitute for actually bearing one's skin. Second, it's versatile. There isn't much that doesn't go with neutral colours, and your looks can be punched up with colourful accessories - look out for the next trend: statement jewellery. Lastly, it's simple. This is most important because times are hard in economies worldwide and it's so easy to follow this trend on the cheap.

I've put together some outfits demonstrating how you can wear nude from day to night. I'll add an office look if there is a demand..enjoy!

For colour choices note that traditional "skin" tones work best on women with olive and darker complexions, while those with paler skin should try pink or gold.
