How to Stand Out in a Monochromatic Outfit

I died when I saw this skirt at TJ Maxx and it was only $20. I have been looking for a lace skirt for what seems like forever. I decided to try out a monochromatic look with it. I’ve found that sometimes that can be tricky, so I wanted to share my tips to wearing one of this season’s hottest trends!

How to Wear Monochromatic

Add texture

Different materials add variation to an otherwise monotonous outfit.
I get lots of texture from the skirt, pockets on my blouse and purse

Keep it simple, sleek and classy

I have a pair of fabulous nude heels, here, but they are far from classy. These pink heels are a much better pick for this outfit.

Mix and Match Patterns

Incorporating patterns will prevent the colors from looking the same.
The lace skirt adds visual interest. So does the purse. I think something like this adds a lot more then just a white or cream clutch. However, if I had a clutch in a fabulous color that would add an extra pop that wouldn’t take away from the monochromatic look.
