This Fashionista rocks a monochromatic look by wearing a white lace crochet top and a white long open-front knit cardigan, both from Michael Kors. The lace top has a loose knitting with a web-like pattern, while the cardigan is in a close-knitted, vertical design. This never boring, one-note dressing is one of the easiest ideas for a simple outfit on a casual school day in summer. By layering different fabrics and patterns that give the look interest and texture, you can still rock a fashionable piece while wearing all the same colour.
