Everyday Monotone Style

Who: Emmy Rossum and Maggie Q 

What: Emmy in J.Mendel bright orange top and skirt with espresso suede pumps and Maggie in Max Mara yellow crew neck shirt and chino shorts and black loafer-style flats.

Why It Works: When you do bright colored separates, they absolutely have to match to a tee if you want to do the same color. If the color is super close but not exact, it will not look as put together, and it will probably just bug you. Although you do not need to have long sleeves, I personally like the proportion of it, but in the summer I will do this with shorts and a tank since it gets so hot in D.C. Again, keep the accessories, shoes, and hair simple. The color will speak for itself. 

Who: Oliva Wilde and Liv Tyler

What: Antonio Berardi sheath with Brian Atwood pumps and Stella McCartney crew neck sheath dress with black pumps and clutch

Why It Works: The color of these dresses are phenomenal. The cut is simple and classy and highlights their waist's at the right point. Accessories and hair aren't fussy. 

Looking for Something Simpler? Bright Hues Too Much For You?

Who: Sandra Bullock (at the premiere of friend Ryan Reynold's movie The Change Up)

What: Black Lanvin jumpsuit with Penny Preville and Adeler gold jewelry and black strappy heels. 

Why It Works: To wear a jumpsuit, you really have to think about proportion and fit. Personally, I am still looking for the perfect one. It has to emphasize the part of your waist that is the smallest, which this does on Sandra. Since it's strapless as well, it shows enough skin so that she doesn't look completely washed out in black. It is simple, easy, and sexy. 

Style Icon - Selena Gomez

Texas native Selena has really stepped up her wardrobe in the last year. She has definitely graduated from Disney girl to style star! Her Disney Channel show, Wizards of Waverly Place, started in 2007 and four years later she now has her own music group, Selena Gomez & the Scene, which has produced some of the best music I have ever heard from a Disney Channel star (much better than Ashley Tisdale or Vanessa Hudgens that is).

This photo makes me wish that I had her life. Shopping in a wicked cute outfit with perfect hair, a Chanel purse, and a recent Dior purchase. And sherbet. Most of all sherbet. If only I had her singing voice as well, beautifully showcased in the Phantom of the Opera (2004). Check it out below.
