Monochrome looks are always cool, clean and fresh...for me the best ones. Like here, for example: a simple multi-layered outfit in white*, contrasted with some black elements. Too simple, too basic? Maybe once it was, when all T-shirts, sweatshirts, trenches,…etc. looked the same -  very plain and dull. Nowadays a range of good basic pieces to choose/get are way wider and to be frank, they are not that easy-basic anymore. For me a really good basic piece is the one you can easily wear and combine with other pieces you have and will have. At the end that´s the point of building a solid wardrobe. A personal one. I would tell you a lie if I don´t admit that season trends still steal my attention...and sometimes and extra euro...yes, it still happens, but I am happy** that this became very rarely. A good way/solution to not fall on that trick is to think at least twice, before you make a possible impulsive decision; think what you have***, think what your style needs and buy o n l y what is missed. Like in every aspects of life: less is more. Easier to maintain, enjoy and it use with less stress.

* with two bottom options: pants+footwear
** with myself, my behave

*** a step before is about cleaning your closet; to donate or sell things you didn´t wear even once in last six months; more about that next time
