I love combining different colors in one outfit (like aqua + orange, pink + red, blue + purple), but there's something about a monochromatic look that always feels fresh. This ribbed royal blue skirt has such a nice weight to it and is balanced out nicely by a worn-in striped tee. Since the two blues don't match perfectly, it doesn't feel too matchy-matchy, especially when paired with gold shoes that are my equivalent of ruby slippers.
