Everyone is talking about how big nudes are going to be this coming spring, so it’s no wonder trendsetter Olivia Palermo is already a bit ahead of the rest of us.
Sporting an all-over neutral-heavy look could be disastrous, but what I think makes Olivia’s outfit work so well is the fact that she cleverly pairs her beige accessories with a printed dress which instantly adds a splash of contrast… but not *too* much to ruin the overall effect.
Plus, sporting bold jewelry isn’t as in-your-face when the piece blends in a bit more with the rest of the landscape, if you know what I mean. Here, Olivia’s necklace almost looks like it’s part of her dress, (and I’m not usually one to laud the whole “matchy-matchy” thing)… its brilliant!
For the total look, casually swipe your hair back in a loose chignon and you are officially good to go.
Remember, it’s all about the power of pairing: look for prints, but in neutral tones; for jewelry that is bold, but composed of clear or cream-colored beads; and for booties that are daringly high, but sold in a more demure color.
Here are some items to get you started… !

Gorgeous options, thanks! Any ideas for non-mini dresses though? I love her look for work but minis are a no-go professionally…
Great post
