Monochrome

Sweater + Booties – Something Navy / Slip Dress – Aritzia

Wearing an outfit where all the pieces were in the same color family? Count me out. This was a trend that I saw for 2019 that kept coming up, but never thought I could pull off. Not only did I think I couldn’t do it, I also didn’t have the urge to. Mixing colors, patterns, and textures are what is so fun about fashion for me. After seeing a similar outfit on [Arielle Charnas] I thought I would give it a shot. If it didn’t work out, the worst outcome is that I just don’t wear this outfit again. Maybe there was even an added boost of confidence because two of these pieces are from Arielle’s Something Navy collection.

Wearing black on black is easy for me. I could probably go two weeks wearing only black pieces without ever having to repeat. The monochrome look in another direction though was a challenge I wanted to take on. Readers, would you try it? If so, would you select something in cream/white/black or a bolder color?
