All in Fashion
Think "monochrome" and you typically think, "safe" and "boring". But this look is all about mixing textures and shades to pull off a monochromatic look that is anything but! The result: a polished, pulled-together look that can go from casual Friday at the office to the street, to a house party.
A few weekends ago, the hubs and I spent a whirlwind four days in Maine. Steve's family is originally from there, and we hadn't been back in eight years! As soon as we paid off our loans (another post;), we made it a priority to go back and visit! We arrived via redeye early Friday morning in Boston, where Steve's parents met us on their drive up from Pennsylvania. Then, we headed north!
Every year, my squad makes a point to get away together. This year, we wound up Walla Walla, Washington wine country. Thankfully we got a break from the rain on Sunday, and an afternoon shopping outting wound up as an impromptu photo shoot! Overcast skies and low sixties called for a fancy sweatshirt, dark wash skinny jeans, booties, and a fun hat!
The top knot is a super easy style I love for many reasons. Thank God it's trendy, because it's so convenient and versatile! It works not only for the office, but also for everyday, or even a special occasion. I get a lot of questions like, "Oh are you using a sock? Or one of those foam donuts," so I love surprising people when I tell them it's secured only with a bobby pin and a few hair bands!
