Ootn: Monochrome Madness

Here’s a peak at what I wore out one night this weekend – brace yourselves for... More monochrome. With monochrome being a trend that appears to be hot at the moment (when is it not?), I thought I’d take advantage of this and keep my look rather classic and simple. I would usually add a bright lip, or nails to an outfit like this, but as always I was in a rush to leave the door and my nude lip was frantically applied in the car!

This little crop top is from Topshop and I love just how versatile it is – I pair it with high waisted trousers, skirts, shorts, just about anything.

This stripey midi skirt is also a versatile statement piece in my wardrobe that I like to wear on my casual days with t-shirts, flats and a cute satchel. Or I can dress it up like I did on this occasion with heels, a clutch and accessories.

Topshop’s Allegra’s were my heels of choice. These boots are just like your regular Chelsea Boots with a chunky heel, super comfortable and match almost everything. I love pairing these with dresses and skirts as they toughen up an outfit by adding edge.The Allegra boots are no longer available, but here's a similar option.

This cute clutch is a little quilted, vintage beauty that used to belong to my grandmother. What I love about this bag, besides the fact that it was my grandmothers, is the beautiful alligator skin detailing on the leather – it adds additional dimension and detail to a simple outfit.

Here’s to yet another monochrome outfit!

June 2013 Fashion Wish List:

 

• I've lost count of how many blazers I own, but they seem to be all I wear in the warmer months! Oversized off white blazer here
• I basically live in jeans whether that be high waisted, boyfriend, ripped, skin tight.. I already own a pair of Topshop Joni jeans and I wear them to death so I'm pretty desperate for a new pair. here
• If you know me, you know I basically wear my Chelsea boots everyday and these cut out boots would make a good alternative to that. These would be a super cute way to toughen up an outfit, and add an edge to dresses and skirts. here
• Crop tops are my weakness. I'm pretty sure I already have about 5 black crop tops, but this is different.. it has a mesh panel..right? here
