You've read the trend reports. And today's Stylehive post on cool cork boards. You bought that bright graphic mini you've been eyeing for weeks. You know what's hot. Now, the only question is how to accessorize without going over the top.

The solution is easy: keep it neutral. Anything in the family of nude, flesh tones look best when accessorizing bright prints. Sunglasses, jewelry, shoes, and handbags should all be in the same color story.

But don't worry, neutral doesn't have to mean boring. Try Jill Stuart's off-white pumps in eyelet, or a short leather knot necklace from Malababa.

When you keep it monotone, your accessories have a chance to show off a lot of detail and embellishments, like braiding, texture, or bling!

Neutral accents are a wardrobe staple: they look classic and go with virtually any look, so go ahead and invest in a few!
