Architecture of an Outfit: Monochromatic Blues

Aloha Kakahiaka~Good morning, Lovecat!

Have you ever wondered how to rock blue from head to toe? In my effort to learn how to color block, I accidentally put on an all blue outfit. (Since I work in a creative/media environment, I can wear this to work. LUCKY ME!)

At the end of the day, my husband, boss and landlord had all commented on how very blue I was. Accidental Monochroma-chic! (Hey, Kristy! Holla!)

{ Architecture of an Outfit: How to rock blue monochrome head to toe – blue maxi skirt, navy tank, blue polka dot clutch and gold accents! }

{ I’ve got the blues. The Monochromatic Blues, that is. Silky blue maxi skirt with navy tank and polka dot clutch made by my BFF Eli*Sharon. }

{ Feeling silly with the husband shooting. }

{ Accessorize a simple outfit with shiny gold accents. }

{ But keep the Arm Party down to a minimum. Let the simplicity of the outfit speak for itself. }

Bamboo Sky silk/poly blend blue maxi skirt (Alternative: Reiss silk teal maxi skirt.) Eileen Fischer organic cotton ribbed tank. BR snakeskin skinny belt (alternative: Snakeskin skinny double wrap belt, Gorjana <3). BR heavy gauge gold chain necklace (Alternative: Gold chain choker, CC Skye <3!). JewelMint Birdcage bangle (Waitlist). Marc by Marc Jacobs locket watch (discontinued). Eli*Sharon polka dot foldover clutch (Alternative: Polka dot clutch, Betsey Johnson).

*EDIT* If you want an amazing clutch like this, please contact Sharon via her website EliSharon.blogspot.com, and let her know you saw her amazing polka dot clutch on my site. You can commission her to create one of these gorgeous pieces for an affordable price.*

{ It was an accident! But a nice one. }

{ My jewelry display. MESSY. }

I’m really glad this worked out. I think I’ll be trying this combo again, but maybe with a different color family.

Have you ever done something by accident that totally turned out well? Do tell!

Rock On, Lover.
