Black and Gray Monochrome.

Black and Gray today. Two dark neutrals for a Simple, Casual, Winter Monochrome Look. I am combining Skinny Leather Pants (faux leather on the front and ponte on the back), a Black Sweater Embellished with Silver+Gold Bows, a Classic Gray Coat and a Gray Cloche Hat which also has a Bow off the side. I did bring in a pop of Hunter Green and Dark Red/Marsala via my Oxford Leather Shoes and Lipstick. What do you think? I also wore this same hat and featured another fun coat a few weeks ago.

Carrie from A Lovely Little Wardrobe is doing the Create 28 Challenge all this month of February. She has a prompt/theme each day. For day two she showed a Monochromatic Look. I will follow a few of her challenges this month, perhaps not on the given day, but still. And Spotlight Weekly's theme this week is Jackets and Coats. I love my Beautiful, Classic Gray Coat by Bebe.
