Monochrome

Usually, I'm the queen of color, but I've been really into monochromatic outfits lately. The weather has been pretty warm in the DC area, so white has been go-to for keeping cool in this summer-like heat. I've had these printed pants for awhile, but this striped top is a fairly new addition to my wardrobe. I decided to take a risk (per usual) and pair these two items together. It was definitely eye-catching and had a really chic, summer feel to it. I paired the outfit with my black lace oxfords for the sake of adding some simplicity to the outfit--I felt like the outfit needed a solid color--though in retrospect, sandals would have been a better choice in order to break up all the black and white. I completed the look with a simple red lip, and I undid my twists for a bomb twist-out! Peep the definition! :)
