FASHION QUESTION

[twoapennything]

So, I have this dress in black:



I hate my upper arms, so I have this really cute black cardigan that will go over the top of the dress . . . but, can I wear these awesome, rich scarlet/wine tights that I have with black heels? I know monochromatic is always considered the best choice, but I don't want to be dressed in black from head to toe.

Or, should I wait and get a different-colored sweater and go with monochromatic on the black? This has been bothering me all day.

FWIW, I'm thinking of going for the scarlet tights, but I can take the WTFness if that would be horrific.

I would say it depends on which portion of your general fabulousness you want to highlight today. If it's face/hair go with the different color cardigan , black dress and tights. If it's legs, go with the tights. (they sound gorgeous!)
I have to agree that even at this time of year, head-to-toe black is a little severe.
If you are currently blonde, I think it would wash out your coloring unless you add a lil' sumpin' sumpin'.
If you go that route, do you have a pretty scarf or some colorful jewelry that could break things up?
