No neutrals.

As a brief dis(fore?)claimer, I promise to you that I've been ceaselessly seeking featurable street-style ensembles to share - but this town is boasting an even more pitiable degree of clothing consciousness than I'd feared, (making my upcoming trip abroad that much more exciting - but more on that later.)

For now, let us turn to color.

I know that I've been talking a lot about this little diddy lately - but there's just something about the hot weather that begs for some non-mud-hued palette exploration.

That, and my mom suggested it.

My default pairing for any coral/salmon/lox pants would usually be grey or white. So too, it seems, would that of the rest of humanity. [Google "coral pants" and you'll see what I mean.]

Me. Wearing: top: Anthropologie (old, but cool one here), pants: Forever 21 (similar and fun options), boots: Good Style Shop, watches: Anne Klein (similar), my grandma's

Today, however, (much like yesterday), I'm going all out. And I even managed to find some brightly-hued comrades to help corroborate my decision.

See? I'm practically presidential.

What's your take? Are neutrals a must have? Can you have too much color? Are you sick of seeing my face?

Honesty's the best policy.

Cheers.
