Feeling a little gross so no new looks for the next couple of days, but felt like sharing some of my favorite monochromatic outfits. These are especially fun as it allows you to get creative with textures and silhouettes, all while adding dimension with different tints and shades of the same color

Can’t lie for a minute I was more of a neutral lover but it’s clear that color is where my strength lies🙂‍↕️ some of my favorite outfits I’ve ever styled. Let me know which one is your favorite? What colors should I style next? #lemon8challenge #howtostyle #colorfulaesthetic #beforeyoub

LOOK 081 It’s Tentacruel 🪼 I wanted to play with the idea of volume slowly dissolving into movement. I wore a blue skirt as a top, letting the pleating create this wider, almost floating shape through the body. Underneath, I layered a silver fringe skirt so the silhouette gets narrower and

Oh how I love planning and playing in these clothes:) a little sneak peak into how I plan my outfits. I think I’ll do more of these if yall wanna see🫶🏼 comment below #lemon8challenge #howtostyle #colorfulaesthetic #summerdate #girlhood

LOOK 080 I wanted this one to feel like romance exaggerated. I created this dramatic, almost pannier-like shape with the skirt, so instead of balancing it out, I leaned further into it. I layered lace underneath to stretch the silhouette toward the floor and kept everything within this dusty

LOOK 079 It’s Beedrill 🐝 The yellow and black stripes were already doing most of the work, so I built around them with pieces that felt like different parts of Beedrill. The sheer skirt gives me wings, while the denim mini and silver hardware add something harder and more armored. I kept t

LOOK 078 It’s Altaria ☁️ We brought the ruffled pants out and made a skirt. The volume and layers of white ruffles already felt like Altaria’s cloud-like feathers, so I kept everything else pretty literal. Blue on top, white below, with the lace-up heels adding those long delicate lines. E

LOOK 077 It’s Magikarp! 🐟 I think the funny thing about using Pokémon as references is realizing how much design information exists in something that initially seems so simple. Magikarp is basically red, cream and gold, but what interested me more was the movement. Everything about it feel

LOOK 076 It’s Blastoise. 🌊🐢 I’ve realized my favorite references are the ones you don’t immediately recognize. Instead of copying a character, I like translating its design language into something I’d actually wear. For Blastoise, that meant protective layers, structured silhouettes, weath

LOOK 075 It’s Meganium! 🌸🌿 One of the first Pokémon I fell in love with. Instead of copying Meganium directly, I borrowed its language: fresh greens, tropical pinks, petals, softness, and movement. The hairs from the underlayer become foliage, the florals becomes the focal point, and the pale

LOOK 074 I wasn’t finished with this color story. LOOK 072 introduced me to the relationship between cobalt, fuchsia, and citron. This look asks a different question: what happens when the silhouette changes instead of the palette? Instead of relying on clean lines, I exaggerated the propo

LOOK 073 I’m realizing I don’t move on from ideas very quickly. This is really an extension of LOOK 071. I kept thinking about the contrast between soft knitwear and sequins and wanted to revisit it from a different angle. The sweater says winter morning. The skirt says late night out. Som

LOOK 072 This started as a fun little color study. I wanted to see how far I could push complementary colors before everything fell apart. Turns out adding one unexpected color made the whole thing feel more balanced instead of more chaotic. Still experimenting and not my favorite, but I lear

LOOK 071 I like when a piece changes the personality of another. A sequin skirt is usually read as eveningwear, but pairing it with oversized knitwear shifts the feeling entirely. Instead of competing, the textures soften each other. The sparkle feels calmer, the knit feels a little more elev

LOOK 070 So sometimes I don’t really like finished outfits. I like pieces that can be shifted, draped, layered, or worn differently every time I reach for them. It keeps getting dressed interesting because the clothes aren’t asking to be styled one specific way. This look came together the

LOOK 069 This look started with the color story. Orange and turquoise naturally create contrast, but by keeping the tones slightly muted, the palette feels balanced instead of loud. The acid green platforms push it a little further, while the turquoise beads tie the cool tones together. Th

LOOK 068 The textile was the starting point for this look. I found myself building everything around it, the olive knit, the tulle skirt (a fan favorite), the beads. I wanted the silhouette to feel modern, but the spirit of it to feel much older. I’ve always been interested in clothing that f

LOOK 067 This feels like a different take on the color story from LOOK 062. I’m still playing with mint green, lavender, and red, but this time the palette feels cleaner. The thing I find interesting is that these colors technically shouldn’t have much to do with each other, but because th

LOOK 066 I’ve realized that I love outfits that feel slightly irresponsible. A micro skirt with leopard pumps with a patterned tie. On paper, these pieces are all fighting each other, but the monochromatic red palette keeps them cohesive. The oversized shirt is what makes it work for me. W
