Pocahontas

Some accessories are so good that they just have to be worn again and again. That's how I feel about this scarf. Yes, it's the same scarf. Instead of wrapping it around twice, I tied the ends together so that it would hang longer. If you have long hair, this technique works well regardless of how you tie it because it won't be seen. If you have shorter hair, you'll probably have to play with it a little to make the knot look pretty. Regardless, I love the dramatic effect tying it this way has on an outfit. For this scarf in particular, the colors are perfect for fall, the sequins are right on trend and the tribal print looks great with my comfy moccasins. The result was a cute and relaxing Sunday afternoon outfit!

How To Wear: Nude Tones

Happy Monday, dear readers! I am excited to bring to you The Flip Side's first ever joint post! Emalee of pamja libri and I have been working on this post for a couple of weeks now and we think we have put together something very special to start your week off right. 
New Season Nude

Items in this set:

blouse, vintage $5; tube top, Express $10; harm pants, DIY shiney tuxedo pants $110;
pumps, Steve Madden $90; ring and clutch, Payless samples


As you know, nude tones are huge for spring.  You've already seen me wear my nude Steve Madden platform pumps here and here.  Well, I pulled the 'ole girls out of the shoe closet for yet another outfit (hello, they go with everything!).  Pictured above are our two suggestions for wearing nude tones.  The key is to anchor the outfit with at least one article of darker colored clothing.  This helps prevent looking too washed out.  Emalee illustrates this quite nicely in an edgier look by incorporating black leather leggings, ankle boots and a cropped jacket. For me, I chose a pair of DIY black harem pants.  Regardless of the look you choose, you can't go wrong this spring by rocking nude tones.
