the blues

I've had all these items in my closet for quite some time (at least a year - that's a long time in my closet) but never thought about pairing them together until I noticed the monochrome trend unfolding around the blogosphere so I'm giving it a shot. Takeaway tip: different shades and different textures keep a "one color" ensemble from looking too "matchy" (that's a word right?) xo Ellen ps. I'm linked up with More Pieces of Me & On the Daily Express
