<p>We are always going on and on about how we have a tendency to gravitate toward all black outfits, and that is certainly true. However, for me, I think I just have a habit of dressing mono-chromatically and that&#8217;s why I like the all black.  Here, I still kept with the monochrome look, but instead used different shades of the color for the same effect. I love this <strong><a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=486407391&amp;pid=uid5129-30818627-38">Babe Town</a></strong> Free People Top (how sweet is the name?) and have been dying to wear it since I got it for my birthday, but alas, it is the middle of winter. Solution? Blazer. Always, blazer. Always, <strong><a href="http://api.shopstyle.com/action/apiVisitRetailer?id=469114794&amp;pid=uid5129-30818627-38">Theory Blazer</a></strong>.</p>
