I had a monochrome pink outfit ready to go last night but decide this morning I needed to push myself in this challenge and try out a split complimentary scheme. This was by far the hardest outfit in these color challenges for me to pull together. I stared at the color wheel for a long time then moved between color wheel and closet for a bit longer.
