I spent the weekend reviewing my closet, organising my jewellery collection, shoes and clothing so I could start preparing for my Fall fashion looks. I can’t lie guys, it’s been really challenging of late to find the time to vlog (hence why nothing has gone live in absolutely ages) and to also put together looks. Working in a challenging day job, whilst trying to make my passion projects become my everyday projects is no mean feat. It was because of this though that in between sorting through these things, I also went through my images that haven’t been added to the blog yet.
In my search I came across a few shots of my monochromatic outfit which saw me experiment with garments I already had in my closet.
When it comes to rocking monochrome there are so many plus points. Aside from some of the seemingly obvious of monochromatic looks ard sliming and also are fabulous for petite girls because it presents the illusion of added height. It is also a classy style option and rarely fails to make an impression.
Further to these; dressing in black and while also offers these 3 key benefits:
Wearing the same hues makes getting ready a less of a challenge
The more creative and outlandish you’re with your colour palette is the more chance you have of things going wrong. Black and white is easy and no matter what; you always look like you’ve put in some effort.
You will appear visually more put together
You automatically look more classy and sophisticated in black and white and the colour and shade combo also gives the appearance of wealth and opulance.
Easier to accessorise
Adding jewellery and other accessories to a monochromatic look is much easier and quick to do than when you’re wearing colours. You tend to find that most, if not all of your jewellery options; no matter the style or colour just works. Don’t believe me? try it yourself. 🙂
As mentioned earlier, to put this look together, I opted to explore what I already had to my disposal in my closet.

Aaliyah MTV Awards Inspired Look
Who else remembers Aaliyah’s iconic dress from the 2000 MTV Music Awards? The moment I saw her in it, I was mesmerized. It exuded sexy appeal without revealing too much, proving that sometimes less truly is more. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to appreciate this philosophy. Showing just a hint of leg can make me feel sexy and confident while still leaving much to the imagination.
Channelling My Inner Girl Group Look in Green Combats and Timberland Boots
If you were born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s, this latest look will definitely bring back memories. When I was younger, girl groups often rocked combat boots and showed just a hint of midriff. It was an understated yet sexy style. You didn’t need to reveal much skin to make a statement, and you could still turn heads without showing off too much.
Faux Leather Co-ord and 3 Reasons Why You Should Wear The Colour Brown
When it comes to my fashion choices, I’m all about embracing what feels right for me, regardless of the latest trends. Sure, I keep an eye on what’s hot in the fashion world, but ultimately, I dress for myself. That’s why I have a soft spot for co-ords—they offer versatility and comfort that’s hard to beat.
