Monochrome looks are nothing new, but they are definitely not for the faint of heart. To get this styling challenge right, here are a few tips...
1. Make sure your hues are of similar warmth. We call this a color family. For instance, there are khaki greens vs. turquoise greens. One has a high concentration of cool tones (turquoise green) and the other is very very warm (khaki). My blues are in the same color family, they have concentrations of cool blues and grays.
2. Keep the accessories neutral. Unless your monochrome look is comprised of neutrals itself make sure the accessories are not a distraction to the rest of your color palette. I chose some simple nude sandals and one of my favorite wood bracelets inlaid with a band of antique gold.
3. Keep in mind the whole aesthetic of your look when pulling pieces from your wardrobe. This whole outfit has a rustic, vintage vibe. I have other blue items but some of them are more modern or sleek looking; those wouldn't have fit with the look I was going for. You know yourselves and your wardrobes, maybe don't pair a super feminine blouse with frills with a pair of ahtleisure mesh and scuba leggings of the same hue. Or do, it might turn out fabulous!!!
