When I do wear color, I do it monochrome! (Per usual.) Full monochrome looks might seem a little risky but I actually think that if done right, they can look like very effortless and put together. And surprisingly enough, it’s actually very easy to do monochrome looks. The key is incorporating different textures when working with one color. You want each piece to be unique but is also cohesive to the color. Textures in each piece will help pull a monochrome look together and prevent you from looking like a solid block of color!
Although it’s winter, it’s still warm enough in LA for the most part to wear a skirt. I paired this a-line leather skirt with a chunky sweater for a look that’s both relaxed and cool. Pairing the knit with leather breaks up the fact that they’re pretty much the same shade. This burgundy knit is a great piece for the winter because it’s super cozy and chic. Knee high foots for the winter is great because they keep my legs warm so I can still wear a skirt. Not to mention, who can resist these fringe suede boots? It’s that 70’s trend continually making its way into winter. I topped this outfit with my neutral Fendi bag. Pairing a neutral color bag will definitely draw the attention to the outfit rather than the bag itself, but I like how the red hues in the bag ties the look together.
I hope this outfit inspires you to create a monochromatic look with your favorite color from your closet! Happy Wednesday!

Trends I'm Loving Right Now
While I'm always hopping from trend to trend there are three in particular that has totally captured my heart (and closet) this season.
I love burgundy for this winter season, always loved it, but now is the right time to take it out of the closet;)! Your pairing is perfect, love the leather skirt with the knitted sweater and of course those amazing suede knee high boots. I would have preferred them on a high heel, but I understand you are busy girl and need the comfort:).
with love from Lausanne,

Burgundy is definitely one of my favorites shades, especially around this time of year, I’ve never thought to do a monochromatic look with it. I adore this look though, so I might have to try it (or another color) out! Thanks for the inspiration!

Thanks Kamila! xoxo
We don’t wear boots in Nigeria regardless of the weather so these might be a bit too much but that sweater though. Don’t know why but recently I’ve been loving the androgynous look with sleeveless sweaters. This one is more feminine but still, a fitted version will work very well with a crisp shirt for work. What do you think?
