Monochrome Dressing; All Black

all black outfit, monochrome outfit, leather pleated skirt, polka dot topTo be honest I am not one of those people who live in black. I love colour. But it also doesn’t mean that I never do all black.

The trick with monochrome dressing is to vary the fabrics and details so that there is more dimension to the outfit.

sheer polka dot tshirt, leather pleated skirt, 424 fifth, asosI had seen this 424 Fifth sheer polka dot t-shirt on a number of my blogger friends and when I found it was on sale I had to get it (in black & white!). It is that perfect item to add visual interest to a monochrome outfit.

So instead I added a pop of colour with an oversized red clutch which I usually carry round as a crossbody bag.
