tortoise is the new black

Lately I've been obsessed with everything tortoise. For a long time I really did not like tortoise, and I wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. I thought you could either have black or brown, but never both. I'm so glad I realized how very wrong this thinking was. Tortoise items make the best accessories because like leopard, they're a neutral. If you think leopard is a little too bold for you (which it never is) or you're just looking for a great end of summer piece I highly suggest something in tortoise. Tortoise is a classic that you'll be able to wear over and over again; it really is the new black.
