    I’m actually inclined to disagree, I feel like the outfit would be unbalanced and the white trim and doggo purse competing. The white socks at least offer a bit of balance to the look imo

      I agree! Making the skirt and socks black would make things too busy on the top/top-heavy.

      Maybe just change the skirt color to navy or black so it provides contrast with the purse (which is definitely the statement piece)

      But wouldn’t you say the dog bag is a statement? Otherwise, why not go with a more conventionally shaped bag? The skirt color (at least in the picture) really takes away from the bag imo.

      I am also a fan of symmetry and the three white stripes bug me in a way the white trim does not.

        The statement is that it isn’t a statement. An understatement, if you will.

        It’s a big part of looking classy. Why wear a diamond studded gold watch when you can wear a normal looking watch that those in the know will recognize as expensive?

        Same principle. You don’t necessarily notice the bag immediately, so when you do notice it you get to appreciate the outfit a second time. There’s layers, which makes it sophisticated. Classy.
