Hey there! I'm going to walk you through my favorite ways to put together solid-colored pieces. Trust me, it's not as boring as it sounds! Creating amazing outfits with just solid colors is kind of my thing, and I'm excited to share some of my personal tricks with you.

 1. Understanding Color Palettes

So, let's talk colors first. I used to be pretty intimidated by color matching until I figured out some patterns that work. You know what's foolproof? Going monochromatic looks—like wearing different shades of blue from head to toe. It's super slimming too!

But honestly, I have the most fun playing with complementary colors. Like, have you tried navy and mustard together? Or emerald green with burgundy? These combos just work! What colors do you find yourself gravitating toward in your closet? I'd love to know!

 2. Playing with Textures

I'm obsessed with mixing textures—it's actually my secret weapon when I'm wearing all one color. Just yesterday I paired my silk cami with a chunky cardigan, both in cream, and got so many compliments!

Pairing a chunky knit sweater with leather pants/skirt or a smooth silk blouse with tailored trousers can instantly elevate your look and add a touch of sophistication. 

3. Layering Techniques

Layering is a versatile technique that can transform a basic outfit into a fashion statement. Experiment with layering solids by adding a structured blazer over a monochromatic dress or layering different lengths and textures, like a long trench coat over a fitted top and trousers. This not only adds depth to your ensemble but also allows for versatility in different settings and weather conditions. 

4. Accessorizing with Finesse

Let's be real—accessories are where the magic happens! They're like the glue that holds your solid-color outfit together. I'm not always great at remembering to wear them, but when I do...wow, what a difference!

A colorful scarf, statement earrings, or even just a bold lip can transform your outfit. My personal trick? I use a bright bag to connect two different-colored pieces. Like wearing my navy dress with olive shoes might seem random, but add my terracotta handbag and suddenly it all makes sense!

5. Creating Balance and Proportion

I've definitely had my share of fashion fails when it comes to proportion, haha! But I've learned that balance is everything when working with solids.

If I'm wearing loose pants, I'll balance them with something fitted on top. Or if I'm rocking an oversized sweater, I'll pair it with slim jeans or a pencil skirt. It's all about creating that visual harmony, you know? What silhouettes do you feel most confident in?

6. Embracing Personal Style

At the end of the day, these are just my guidelines based on what's worked for me! Fashion should be fun and personal—it's about expressing yourself and feeling amazing in what you wear.

I've broken plenty of "fashion rules" and ended up loving the result. Sometimes an unexpected combination just works! So take what resonates with you from these tips, experiment with your solid pieces, and create your own unique style. I'd love to hear how it goes for you!
