....Mixing it up with Monochrome

A friend of mine recently brought a navy and cream (kind of ethnic) print monochrome dress from Gap. It's a lovely dress and ticks all the right boxes in terms of trends for SS13 but it also presents a dilemma. Sometimes monchrome needs a bit more va va voom to make it work.

Here's how we turned the dress from ordinary to extraordinary.

1. Belt to nip in waist and bright clashing bag to enhance the monochrome...

Belt Reiss, Bag Kate Spade

2. Peep toe heels pictured in navy (my friend had a pair of jade green heels to tie in with the bag which she wore to a Christening-perfect!)

Shoes Friend's own

3. The finished look. Think you'll agree my friend and the dress look amazing?
