Spring/ Summer Fashion - The nude colour scheme

By Cheshire Life on March 23rd 2011

As the days become lighter so does the colour of the clothing we wear, writes Amanda Griffiths. Springof creams, ivories and beige combine with darker shades of camel, brown and khaki.

Combine these with a touch of colour and your spring wardrobe is complete
