DOWN-TO-EARTH BROWN - AN OUTFIT POST

What do you feel like wearing today --  cheerful brights or down-to-earth brown?

Flirty and colorful, brights are fun. Some days, however, I feel a bit grounded, and go for something brown.

This brown sweater dress may not scream for attention, but it has its own charm. It's earthy, mature, and super comfy -- something I can just throw on, wear all day long, and still look put-together.


Throw on a sweater dress over leggings, and you are ready to go.

Brights are nice, but so are earthy browns.

Now that I have made my choice, what about you?

Will you be wearing down-to-earth brown?

  9. This is a gorgeous outfit - absolutely love the boots. i really like brown cos you can wear loads of different shades but they still pull together and look great. Also it's one of those flattering-on-everyone colours so you never have to worry about it not suiting you!

    P.S. cute bag - the paler shade is a lovely touch ♥

  34. That does look so comfy! I love wearing things like that especially to work just so easy.

    I used to wear a lot of brown but nowadays I don't really have much in my wardrobe, not sure why though.

  53. That colour is divine on you, and I like how the shape of sleeves give it some structure. Sweater dresses are so versatile. Brown's in heavy rotation in my wardrobe. (BTW I love all the questions in your posts -it's so engaging!)
