Going completely monochromatic is not something that I do on the regular, and I’m not really sure why. It’s so incredibly chic!
I started my look with my favorite J.Crew No. 2 Pencil Skirt and topped it off with black tank. I loved how the pairing created the look of an LBD. It’s the perfect outfit to take me from work to evening events.
What’s your favorite way to go monochromatic?
Top: Old Navy (similar), Skirt: J.Crew No. 2 Pencil, Pumps: J.Crew Valentina (similar), Belt: J.Crew Turnlock Belt (similar), Bracelets: unknown, Stella & Dot Eden Bangle, Earrings: Stella & Dot Raina

For a sec I thought this was a dress, love this classic look.
You are so gorgeous, woman! 🙂 Black is usually the only color that I can pull off with the monochromatic look and I tend to do it pretty often because almost everything in my closet is black, haha. 🙂
And I love your braid, so pretty!
Yes it can and you did a wonderful job with this. Love how you styled your hair with this look plus it does double duty keeping you cool in the summer heat.

They go so well together I thought it was a dress! Great look!

I don’t do monochromatic very often and when I do, I love it. Why don’t we do it more often? Your hair is super adorable too!
I thought it was a dress until you told me otherwise! I love this look. I do monochromatic more than a person probably should just because it’s so easy haha

Monochromatic is very flattering! Love the gold belt and leopard heels, very chic!!
Gorgeous!! I would have never thought of doing this!! I want the whole outfit!!
I thought I was the only one who wears a top and bottom in the same color and tries to make it look like it’s one piece! I think it’s so chic!
I love how you paired the top and skirt together to look like a gorgeous LBD!

The hardest part about doing a monochromatic look with black is getting the blacks to match. Yours look great!
I thought you were wearing a dress! Looks fabulous together and on you. Very nice outfit.

Very classy, looks like a dress.
Sleek look! I love the bits of gold and animal you have incorporated.
Fabulous look! Girl, those J. Crew Pencil Skirts fit you to a tee! I wish they fit me that well because now that I work at the factory store in Foley I get an employee discount, but they just don’t quite work on me. Love this look, and LOVE your hair! Beautiful!
