Shades of Taupe.

bag | Free People

Hello hello! What is taupe exactly? (pronounced “tope”) Is it gray or is it beige? I’m sure many of you could care less, but as an interior decorator, it’s pretty crucial to know the difference. If I could define it, I’d say it would be the love child of gray and beige, think elephant colored. 

I’ve been on the hunt for a good work bag and finally stumbled across this taupe Free People cross body. It fits my daily work paraphernalia perfectly without being overly bulky. Yep, I’m that girl at work who carries her life in her bag, ain’t nothing wrong with being prepared! And on top of it being both chic and functional, it was less than $100! The quality and the price tag just made it that much better. 

So I guess we’re just skipping Spring this year and starting Summer early, about 3 months early. The recent rise in temp has put in me in a casual state of mind, and I’ve been reaching for my boyfriend jeans. So in an attempt to make my outfit more work appropriate, I added this jacket with leather taupe paneling. For added taupe continuity, I threw on my metallic heels. Have a great weekend! :)

With love,
