Why So Monochromatic?

How befitting is it that this post is about a monochromatic look versus the colorful printed look of my last post? But there is something to be said about how a monochromatic guise can make you look sophisticated, chic. Black on black is always a classic, but what about other colors? This season it seems as though beige and grey tones are the must have staple for your fall/winter wardrobe. Check out some of these monochromatic looks for youself. Which one can you see yourself in?

It's the Printsipal of It!

When I think about prints I usually think of only wearing them either on a dress, skirt or a top, because on pants it would just be too much; even shorts I'm just now coming around to like. But lately I'm rethinking the whole philosophy of no printed pants! Prints done right on pants add a little spice to an otherwise plain pant collection. Other than color, style, or texture, how else can your pants vary? Blue-jeans, khaki's, black, white, business, casual....etc. Some small details, add a zipper here, a flare there.

But designers and clothing boutiques across the board this season are paying special attention to the printed pant. Check out Style.com's roundup of runway looks of the printed pant.
