Spontaneous Monotany

I've come to the conclusion that it is extremely difficult to create an entire outfit comprised of only one color (not a dress and not all black).  Rarely is it done right, but when it is, the effect is mind-blowing.  Just take a look.

I can't figure out if it's in the advanced or beginners category of print mixing, but that's a good thing when you don't know-means you're doing something right.  For example, it is widely accepted that people who look like they don't put a lot of effort into their outfits look exponentially cooler, when in reality, effortlessness requires effort.  Either way, I am in awe: the suspenders, prints and textures mixing all in one, those mid-waist shorts, the buttons, and that button-up shirt turned into a skirt.  Yes, I feel the need to try this soon.
