So I’ve decided to mix things up a little; this time we’re looking at Pantone Toasted Almond.
And having concentrated on home-ware for the last 5 weeks, I suddenly had a burning desire to look at some fashion!
I LOVE how this colour has evolved over the years.
This spring it’s ‘Toasted Almond’, although over the years it’s appeared in many different guises. Nude, sable, taupe and back in the 80s it was plain old beige.
Whatever you want to call it, it’s a tricky shade to pull off when worn alone. But used with — or as — an accent colour, Pantone Toasted Almond can look amazing!
I’ve picked a few bits and pieces — any of these could work together — it’s a great neutral and looks über chic with black, charcoal or navy or even paired with lavender, zesty orange or even the strawberry pink shade that I’ll be looking at next week.
Personally, I’m not a fan of a totally nude ensemble but a hint — here and there — is a lovely addition to an outfit.

It’s so nice seeing this shade appearing in various textures and finishes; last year it was all about glossy patent, so it’s lovely to see croc patterns, matt finishes and buttery soft suede making an appearance and it really gives it a different dimension.
Finally, I’m obsessing about the Whistles shoes — just gorgeous — and hey! Whilst I’ll never have legs like Giselle, these bad boys look amazing and a nude shoe is a brilliant way to give the illusion of longer legs.
And that can only be a good thing.

Ooo, this is one of my favourite colours for accessories. I have a coat, bag, shoes and scarf in it and find that they go with absolutely everything. They always look way more expensive than what they are too.
You’re so right Rachel — it really does look expensive doesn’t it?! I think that must stem back to the days that upper-class ladies and gents wore camel coats maybe?
I absolutely adore this colour, it always makes your legs look longer when worn as a shoe- always a plus! #PoCoLo
Me too, lovely! I LOVE this colour but especially on my feet!! Lord know, my legs need all the help they can get!! LOL!! ;) X
Normally I don’t care so much for this colour which some might refer to as oatmeal, but I really like all of your choices here.

Thanks so much Dawn Lucy! Great to find another fashion linky! Thanks for hosting! Cx
I adore all of these finds. That is my idea of a perfect dress and those shoes are AMAZING. I need all these things in my life. I love wearing navy and this is the perfect colour to wear with that. but I might pep it up with some coral or mint green. hugs Mrs H xxxx
Aren’t the shoes amazing?! I need some extra cash so I can make some purchases!! I tend to spend all my spare money on the boys these days. I haven’t bought anything for me — fashion-wise — for absolutely ages!! That needs to change! X
You have most definitely chosen one of my favourite shades. I do love numbers 8,5 and 6. Thank you for linking to #PoCoLo and hope to see you tomorrow :) x
