Shop Monochrome!

Hola ! Happy weekend :) Hmmm...Grocery shopping anyone??? Well i did...n got something for you as well from there! :p
So, i was just standing at this grocery store today in my sector buying some stuff when i saw a girl..probably sixteen-seventeen years old...wearing an all-pink outfit...n it looked amazing!! I recall an instance of my schooling days from this..we had gone to Bombay for an educational tour and we were walking on this path to some Gorai beach when suddenly a group passing by started shouting "pinky aunty - pinky aunty"!! Okay..i might have been the 'one' called so given my stupid dressing sense at that time...but luckily they were commenting on my friend who was wearing a skirt, top and a hat <evil grin> out of which two things were pink in color!! Anyways..i will stop beating around the bush now!! What I really want to ask here is that have you ever been told that your outfit is too "matchy-matchy"...chances are that at some point in your life you might have been!
This is usually perceived negatively..but it need not be with all the pretty pastels and bold colors in everything reigning the market right now! A monochrome outfit can look super sexy, elegant and chic if worn appropriately, plus it lengthens and streamlines your body!




Choose whichever color you want..the key however is to mix and match the tones with a balance! Wear a lighter shade of the hue on top or bottom...so that either one is muted to avoid looking like an ad of nerolac paints!!



Try a white linen trouser with a casual white shirt, add a touch of color with a nude blazer or a  nice neon belt or bag to the ensemble! Or wear a royal blue skirt or printed shorts with a chambray top and a touch of sapphire accessories. If you love wearing colored denims..( I do ;)..then pair a peach top with tangerine pants or a green cotton loose fitting shirt with an even lighter mint green denim!



This summer monochrome calls for hot pinks, minty greens, ice blues, lovely lemons and nudes....of-course, all-white or pastels are always an option..however add a touch of ivory or cream to streamline your ensemble. So go shop for whatever is your favorite shade this season...rock the monochrome trend keeping these tit-bits of advice in mind! xoxo
