A Monochromatic Experiment
*Blogger's Note - Please excuse the poor quality of indoor photographs for today's post. Today's forecast was a whole bunch of doom and gloom and lots and lots of rain, which prevented any great pictures of outfit being taken*
I decided to do a little experimenting with a monochromatic gray color scheme. The sweater, cords, and heels are all different shades of gray, but I decided to try them all together in one big mash-up for today's outfit. I went with one simple, gray-ish silvery necklace and earrings, along with a gray flower headband for my accessories to stay within the feel of the color. I kind of like it for an experiment...
I have also found that I am now uber-hyper-sensitive about sitting on my couch, my former place of relaxation, turned feeding ground for some blood-thirsty fleas. I have become like a hypochondriac, constantly feeling like something is biting on me, or thinking that bite wasn't there a minute ago - or was it? - or freaking out because ohmygosh that little black thing IS...just a piece of fuzz, whew.....so annoying.
In other news, my high school class is actually having our 10-yr class reunion (at a local bar that remains the only smoking establishment in Virginia - how classy and appropriate...actually, a field party with a bonfire and cow tipping would have been more appropriate, but whatev...). And I sooooo don't know what to wear. I was trying to look back through some old outfits that I've posted up here today for some inspiration, but I'm coming up short, as I feel like my style has changed so much since when I first started posting.
So tell me, what would you wear to your 10 year high school reunion in the local dive bar? Please, send me your suggestions!!
Cords, Sweater, Headband - J.Crew
Heels - Tahari via TJMaxx
Necklace - Old Navy?

Ooh! I love the monochromatic look! I've never been gutsy enough to try it, but I think I will now!
Ohmygracious. When is the big event?
@bek - It's next Saturday, the 27th!! Eek and lolololol...
@Ashley - Thank you! You totally should try it!
haha, can we get suggestions for two dive-bar-high-school-reunion- appropriate outfits?! i would actually prefer the bonfire followed by a morning brunch at frost diner! i'm still trying to convince m that he wants to spend part of our thanksgiving break at this reunion...
Ahahah my 10 year reunion is next week too (omg we must be the same age :) also held at a dive bar that they want us to pay $45 to attend. Obviously I won't be going, but I keep in touch with a lot of people from high school, so I won't be missing anything.
I'd wear skinny jeans and a cute sweater.
Ooo, I just LOVE to go monochrome every once in awhile! Love all the silver accents. And you are a style SUPERSTAR who totally does not need our advice on picking a reunion outfit. Take a deep breath and I KNOW you will pick a winner!! :D
Whenever I try monochramatic I go with gray for some reason as well. Seems like I have a lot of it. I love those shoes. If I were you I would go with a denim pencil skirt, turtlneck, and pearls. Its classy and dressy but the jean skirt still makes it dive bar appropriate. Throw in some cute heels and you have a look!
I have a hard time doing monochromatic looks for some reason... You totally pull it off though!
