Have you ever wanted to wear a single color all over, but hesitated with uncertainty? We all want to get dressed with assurance in our choices, and sometimes we hold back because we've never tried something before. It's a new feeling, new look, new sensation that you're stepping out in. 

Is there a particular color you gravitate towards, one that incites an emotional response, but unsure of how to wear a whole lot of it? Saturate your outfit in this flattering color by adding layers of different textures and hues. Simplicity goes far — not much layering required for tonal dressing. Colorful or neutral, monochromatic dressing can be a fun exploration to take you outside of your comfort zone or deliver a daily dose of uniform dressing you've already locked in. 

When I'm working in a client's closets, I have a rule that I'm almost always in full black - occasionally I wear a white shirt ;)  I want to blend into the background, and it works. To make a full-on black outfit in my life feel like me, I choose different materials and silhouettes to keep it interesting, with a splash of gold jewelry.

Fuchsia

Styling Tip: Take this powerful pop of color from office to post-work dinner parties.

Navy

Styling Tip: Bodysuits pair well with high waisted skirts (and pants) in order to stay neatly tucked, smooth, and make for an unfussy waistline.

Saffron

Styling Tip: Layer knits over silk with a flat loafer for a slinky-comfortable day-time look.

Olive

Styling Tip: Go tone on tone in shades of military green, it’s never too much.

Ivory

Styling Tip: When wearing whites, break up the palette with textures and subtle prints for an uber chic look.

Lavender

Styling Tip: Bring on spring and suit up with kitten heels for all day wear.

Noir

Styling Tip: To create dimension in all black add interesting elements and different textures.
