Pure as the Driven Snow

 

Gals, if I'm going to go monochromatic, hands down I'm going to choose white - or winter white in this case. There is something elegant, sharp and fresh about a clean palette. 

Disclaimer: do not try wearing this with toddlers!

Now, just because there's no color doesn't mean this look is plain or lacks style.  In fact, I still incorporated print with my handbag, texture with my croc boots & knit sweater, shine with my gold earrings and rings and modern detail with the exaggerated shoulder & puff sleeve.

These concepts apply if you were to create a monochromatic look with any color.  They add dimension and detail.

I encourage you to find a shade that suits your fancy and go all out with it!

Trench Dress

When you take a twist on the classic trench and make it a dress you get a perfect blend of timeless style and femininity!

I love the structured cotton fabric and a-line silhouette but my favorite element is the dusty pink color.  It also comes in tan and navy, but I couldn't resist this pink. It is such a soft and unexpected neutral.  Because it's a light and undersaturated color it pairs well with dark rich shades like brown, black and navy.  And how sweet would it look with stripes!

Wear this dress sleeveless this season but in cooler temps layer with a striped tee or dress shirt underneath.

I also plan to swap out the sash belt with a wide leather belt.

Gals, this is one of those pieces that you'll have in your wardrobe for years to come.  Invest in the classics!
