A Monochromatic Plum Look for Less

I don't know about you but I love getting inspiration from celebrities for outfit ideas. Some of my go to celebrity inspo style icons are Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon, Beyoncé, Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, and most recently, Michelle Obama.

If you haven't caught it yet, have a look here. Michelle Obama walked in and stunned, amongst all the hubbub of the inauguration of the new POTUS, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, the first BIPOC woman elected as his VP. The former FLOTUS, dawned, a mono-chromatic look, in the regal-ist tones of purple plum. Her outfit was worthy of the queen she is.

The key to getting and pulling off this look is the classic lines and silhouettes. It consists of simple pieces such as a turtle neck, wide leg pants, a wide belt, a long winter trench and some great booties.

You can go full Michelle Obama inspired and get these pieces in a plum or go with a different colour that suits your style and skin tone. This look will definitely be around for a bit and earn its place among the top iconic styles of all time.
