Breaking up an all-black outfit with some accent color is a good idea, to make it even better, carry the color throughout the ensemble. This fashionista paired a burgundy felt hat with burgundy plaid stockings, adding a coordinated accent from head to toe.

i really identify with this post considering i often find it hard to find two pieces with colors that compliment each other perfectly, so usually i “take the accent color and carry it throughout” just like you said…. im glad someone else does the same 🙂 although sometimes i find myself looking a little too matchy matchy but i think it works well as long as i break up the colors with something else a bit… also, where is this hat from?
