Neutrals, And A Pop Of Color: Visible Monday

patti 54 Comments

Neutrals, And A Pop Of Color. My closet is full of neutrals, even though I think of myself as a vibrant, sometimes loud, person 😄. Neutrals make mix-and-matching simple. And there are always accessories to add texture and color.

Welcome to Visible Monday. If you want to participate, it’s so easy: just go to the bottom of this post for the how-to. Link back to Not Dead Yet Style if you like – we’re on Easy Does It “rules” now!

It’s simply gorgeous in Florida in March. The days are in the 70’s and the nights get cool, and you can wear pretty much whatever you want. Today I chose a sheer knit top (thrifted) and black harem pants. The top obviously needs an under-thing, and I chose a simple black tank. A colorful tank would work too.

You can see a scrap of the ocean in the upper left. All the Northerners who come here for the winter think the water is warm (it’s a frigid 65 degrees!)

This is an outfit I can wear anywhere. Today it’s lunch downtown with my sweetie. The glass pendant was found at the gift shop of the Dali Museum in St. Petersburg. And these Cydwoq booties (via eBay six years ago) are probably making their 100th appearance on the blog. That’s how cool I think they are.

If you don’t like to show bare skin, a sheer top like this one is just right for a hint of skin.

Are you neutral or colorful today? Show us in the link-up.

  8. Looking both elegant and casual in your neutrals, Patti. I’m swooning over that necklace! Oh, to be able to see the ocean from one’s balcony! I’ve just published a post about my third year of blogging, and looking at my photos from the archives, there’s a rainbow of colour and hardly any neutrals. But I’ve linked my most neutral outfit! xxx

    • thanks dear Vix. Your post today is marvelous; I adore your new riding jacket. And I just picked up a pair of Mjus booties on eBay! xox

  17. As hot as it has been I know the water is still way too cold for me! But I do laugh when I see all the tourists flocking to the beach and water parks, I’m sure it feels great to them but I’d be shivering!
    Love the sheer top, great way to be cool without too much exposure.
    xo,
    Kellyann

    • Thanks Kellyann! I really enjoyed getting to know you better through your “favorite things”! xox

  18. I have a sheer tunic that I love for late spring. I never was a fan of sheer before, but now I find it to be just the thing–it covers and reveals at the same time, when I don’t want to do too much of either.
    Your booties are works of art.
    Speaking of art, there’s a Dalí museum near me, in Figueras, Spain, where he lived. It’s a trippy place.

    • Oh I’d love to visit the Dali museum in Spain! Love the word “trippy” wrt Dali. Thanks for your kind words and have a wonderful week ahead, xox.

  19. Neutrals with a pop of colour look good on you Patti. I do love the neckline on your top. Those boots are always a winner.

    • We have been friends for a long time! Thanks for the kind words and for linking up, xox.

    • Thanks Heather. You showed some gorgeous camera bags today in your post! xox

    • Right you are, neutrals are colors too! Loved your pics of decor, and the apartment looks very cool. It is almost baseball season and we’ll be coming over to St Pete to watch the Rays – hope to get a chance to meet up with you! xox

  26. That is a fine outfit, Patti! It’s casual but elegant and really could take you anywhere. I love the airiness of the top.

    Hmm. I guess I have been mostly neutral this week, using pops of color to enliven what I wore-mostly greys with some deep, royal purple or dark blue with green tea/matcha colored accents.

    Enjoy those lovely temperatures. 🙂

    • Your colors sound lovely, Cee. I love deep blue with green tea. Thanks for coming over! xox
