Inspired by Nancy and Monochromatic Black

October 31, 2022 /

In the past, Nancy (NancysFashionStyle) inspired me to wear a monochromatic black outfit which I shared in this post. Today’s first outfit was inspired by a recent blog post she shared with a pair of satin trousers and a sheer top. It was all black and bookended by fun gold boots. I immediately thought of my velvet joggers and decided it would be fun to recreate that outfit (see more about her outfit here). My second outfit started with a column of black but I chose an accent color to wear with it.

I liked the idea of wearing textured pants and these soft velvet joggers I picked up last year were perfect for my idea. Since I do not have gold boots, I went for a pair of peep toe booties in a contrasting color. Nancy wore a thin belt but I chose a large one and my top does have small sheer cuffs on the sleeves.

I discovered a red holiday(ish) top of mine when I was organizing my husband’s closet and I think I know what I will be wearing this coming Christmas season. I think it will look great with these pants.

I also should try dressing these down with sneakers for a fun look. By the way, my pretty gold earrings were a gift from my mom who was not wearing them anymore. They have really pretty green and burgundy accents.

I wanted to make sure to wear my kimonos this fall, so this OOTD started with the kimono. I then thought my necklace and booties (from IdeasValyen) would be perfect with it.

Fall is usually the season when I tend to wear more long necklaces so I will find more occasions to wear it. It is of very nice quality and weight and really pretty.

The booties were a spur of the moment purchase when I met her for the first time this summer. I have had no regrets! The embroidery is really pretty and the booties are very comfortable. I have worn them several times and they will be a staple in my closet for years to come.

Do you wear black from head to toe? Do you add an accent color or do you shy away from black? While I do not wear black very often, I really do like it on its own or with another color. So thank you, Nancy for inspiring these outfits!
