Tone Sur Tone

Tone On Tone.... "does exactly as it says on the tin" Same colour, different shades, different textures.

With all the bright colours and crazy prints available in stores there were times where I just didn't know what colour to buy, the green? blue? pink? For my own wardrobe I am worried to spend money on prints or items that are seasonal, plus I am very much a blue and grey person and love the rock star look, yet I like to mix it up every now and then. When you're creative I guess you just don't sit still.

So what is tone sur tone? With the trends for summer showing colour blocking, some people might be to scared to venture or you might just like to wear a lot of black? Tone sur tone is wearing 1 colour but not to look like 1 wash of paint just got thrown at you. The trick is to wear it in different shades and textures.

Here I wore grey. Silk satin skirt against the cotton linen roll up tee. You don't always need to accessorise depending on the look your going for, or the outfit. But it does dress up and complete this look. Without it, the skirt and tee would be missing something.

Doing black is easy. But if you want to really make it look like you made an effort without trying. Again texture! Try black leather on black fur?! On top of a long black dress or black leggings. Instant rock no effort.. Shiny wet look leggings with cotton tee!
