One of my favorite ways to make getting dressed easier is to keep everything in the same tonal family. It takes so much of the guesswork out of putting an outfit together! The secret to keeping a monochromatic outfit from falling flat is to play with tone and texture. Here, the white fitted bodysuit gives me a clean foundation, the ivory gauzy skirt adds softness and movement, and the silk scarf brings in a little sheen and introduces a bit of pattern. The textures are all different, but everything stays in the same color family. Where you take things up a notch is by adding contrast with your bag and shoes. Here, the cognac bag and matching slide wedges ground the otherwise light and airy outfit. And the finishing touch? A pair of vintage Christian Dior earrings, because I love a bit of vintage glam to zhuzh up a basic look! The best part is that this look is effortless and elegant, but also AFFORDABLE. The bodysuit is from Express ($39), the Massimo Dutti skirt was thrifted on Depop, and the silk scarf was under $20 from Amazon. The next time you have no idea what to wear, choose one color story, play with texture, and ground it with a bit of contrast. It’s a flawless formula that works every time. 😘 I’ve linked everything that’s available (and similar picks for what’s not) here. 💕 LTKootd LTKOver40 LTKSeasonal
