I seem to be gravitating to classic colors A LOT lately, and it was no surprise that when I needed to pull together an outfit for a recent graduation I went for a less is more look.
Sometimes dressing up can take on a bit of edginess with a sleek pair of dark denim, a blazer, and a tee. You’re still ‘classic’ in a sense, but in a relaxed, cool way, and I don’t feel like I’ve put on my grandmother’s pearls {which are definitely rad on occasion!} and donned a dress like every other girl attending a more formal affair ;P.
I did add a few pops of color to, well… pop off the neutral palette, but by only adding a small clutch in a solid color and earrings in another, the look maintained it’s minimal chic feel.
Congrats to all you grads! You’ve made it to the great big world.. knock ’em dead out there!
Style Note: For the perfect minimalist look choose crisp whites, go for a clean white and nude combo, or opt for classic black and white. Because it’s summer, I wanted to stand out with a bit of color to really make my neutral palette striking, but if opting to maintain the trueness of minimalism utilize the structure and cut of pieces as the focal point. Keep accessories understated and opt for similar shades for your bag and shoe choice.
