    Khaki is by far my favorite neutral. It is hard to believe I once swore it off because I thought it was too "boring"...little did I know. Etro does some of the most amazing khaki looks, even though they are known for color as does Bottega Veneta. I love the Donna Karan look, so chic and simple! I also adore the Hervé Léger dress, the Tracy Reese jacket and the Chloe skirt. The French Connection bangles are great...I think I may just order some lol! Oh...and the Marni balloon tote is exquisite.

    I just saw that Chloe skirt and died. It's so fantastic!
    The camp I work at over the summer requires us to wear khaki pants or shorts on special occasions, and this gives me hope that I can do it without looking completely ridiculous :]

    Darling, thank you so much for your comment! Tu est très gentille. I love Khaki, and in Paris I found a trench coat to die for, but unfortunately I get very pale with khaki... Those few times I've worn it, I've got a feeling like being dead. it's terrible!
    But, Khaki is very lovely indeed - if you don't get pale..

    I think safari is really hard to do well. It's definitely filtered down to mainstream a little too much (case study: Banana Republic). However, I love your picks.
