Mama Style || Go To Monotone Casual - With A Splash Of Red



I love putting outfits together, but some days I really don't have the time or imagination so I need some classic 'go to' outfits that are quick to grab and look well put together. I've always been a huge fan of monotone clothing and black will always be top of my list, so I thought I'd share a really simple casual look that can be thrown on in seconds but really stand out and make you feel good.

I love a bit of a vintage feel to my clothing, but even with the most modern bits and pieces you can create a look that suits your style and helps to put together an easy wardrobe. 



1. Black dungarees | 2. Striped breton top | 3. Red bandanna | 4. Converse trainers | 5. Kanken backpack | 6. Red lippy


Adding little touches of colour really bring out the best of a monotone outfit, turning it into something that looks a lot more thought out than it actually is, without the effort. This is all about building your wardrobe and filling it with wearable staples that will stand the test of time and see you through the seasons. I love my Kanken back pack and honestly if I could have it in every available colour to change around with my outfits, I'd love it! If you want an every day bag that will stand the test of time, bag yourself one of these.

Classic red Converse look great with denim, but can also be worn with dresses for a more casual twist when you need a little comfort in your life. Bandannas are my ultimate staple, they bring an outfit together, add a splash of colour and cover up even the worst of hair days. I'm a huge fan of polka dot too and love this one from Amazon which is firmly in my stash. 

A red lip always helps to make you feel good and it's well worth investing in long lasting ones like this Maybelline one, though there are lots out there so it's worth finding one that suits your skin and needs.


What's your go to outfit?
