An oversized burgundy pleated rosette turns an ivory blouse and black midi skirt into a statement.

Why it works: The quiet base leaves room for one dramatic shape, and placing it off-centre keeps the outfit from feeling too formal.
Make it yours · Choose the focal point: Place one dramatic detail off-centre; symmetry would make it feel too formal.
