You're staring into your closet 15 minutes before you have to bolt for a meeting/date/interview/night on the town with the girls. Nothing looks like it'll work, until you think to yourself, "What would Lupita do?"
Who is more inspiring than the ultra-talented and ridiculously fashionable actress Lupita Nyong'o? In recent months, she, like so many other stylish stars, has taken a liking to monochromatic looks.
Pair a top with a matching skirt and you're ready to roll. But perhaps you never got around to adding a skirt suit to your wardrobe. Fret not: You can fake it. In fact, pairing a top—whether it's a tank, a tee, or a blouse—with a skirt in the same shade is a little trick we've been using for years.
You look pulled together, slimmed down, and a little metropolitan in two simple steps.
Step one: put on a shirt.
Step two: pull on a skirt in a matching hue. Best to make sure the textures or patterns play well off each other.
Emma Watson and Emma Stone, two actresses known for their strong sartorial sides, both paired skirts with feminine tops in the same color family. Note how they both played with texture and used opaque pieces as a foil to more sheer ones.
