Textures

Mixing texture goes a long way. If you’re sold on monochromatic looks this is one of the easiest ways to shake up your style. In the featured look I paired a faux suede pencil skirt with a ribbed fitted top. The contrasting fabrics stimulate the eye more than matching fabrics.

Angles

It’s all about the angle. Whether you’re taking photos and following the “rule of thirds,” or you’re piecing together a good looking outfit, the importance of angles prevails! Think about it, a diagonal line is a lot more interesting than a straight line. I first dressed this skirt with a turtleneck. After looking in the mirror I decided it did nothing for the asymmetrical hemline. Just like that, a plunging neckline nicely compliments the rim of the skirt. The same applies with regards to the cutout high heels.

Cutting out the matching game will save you a lot of time, but if you are a big fan of color, and an all black ensemble doesn’t sound appealing, just break out the bright accessories.   Women who wear black lead colorful lives – Neiman Marcus   In the look below, I paired a high-low vegan leather tank (similar here) with some coated skinny jeans (similar here) and my favorite bib necklace. The perfect pop of color! This statement piece is from Marmalade – a San Francisco Boutique, but if you’re not in the Bay Area check out these designs.           Speaking of bib necklaces, the stunner I featured in my post How to Wear Boyfriend Jeans Day and Night is now available online at Francecsa’s.
