Hello Elegant Readers,

February is Black History month and Vice President Kamala Harris was sworn into office on January 20, 2021. During the Inauguration she wore a striking purple dress with a matching coat  designed by Christopher John Rogers. The striking outfit was accentuated with a custom pearl and gold necklace and earrings created by Wilfredo Rosado. The purple coat had bluish undertones in this picture and makes her complexion glow. In the fashion world  monochromatic is hot and top of the moment. I believe the monochromatic look works well. The purple being vibrant would have clashed with a contrasting print or color. Designer Rogers stated the color symbolized unity which is what the world needs now more than ever and a sign of hope.

Would you wear a monochromatic look?

A monochromatic look has often been considered a fashion faux paw, but now the look is on trend and is considered a classic. It can make a figure look very slimming. And it looks easy but it’s a skill of a great stylist to make this look come off fresh and energized.
