First off, thanks to @basil rathbone for heading the previous challenge, job well done

I was thinking I'd echo his introductory statement of "Creativity comes from constraint" and so for this challenge it's about colors used.

NO BLACK PIECES
If you think it'll be impossible for you to put together an outfit you like following the above, ONE black article of clothing/footwear is allowed

At times there is a undeniable lack of colors in our WAYWT-thread, especially during the warmer months when it's obviously harder to layer all your cool ****.
However it's getting cooler now and people are starting to break out stuff other than tees and shorts, so for this challenge I want to dare you to not wear black.

Rules:
1. Max 1 piece of black or grey clothing, but preferably none
2. White is allowed, so while black and grey as mentioned above are disencouraged, this is not a completely anti-monochrome challenge

That's more or less it, can't really think of anything else I'd need to clarify regarding rules, wear whatever you want as long as it's some color.









Feel free to add more inspiration pics of your own

Shorts are a deep gray color with slight blue hint, sandal straps are a dark navy

This challenge was hard for me since most of my pants are black or grey.
Nice contest theme, KoY.

@OccultaVexillum what season is that Uniqlo shirt from? The texture looks kinda cool at a distance. Didn't know they ever had collarless/grandad shirts outside of the Lemaire collab.

Current season as far as I know,
Picked it up in Australia about 2 weeks ago, "beige cotton twill". They had basic whites and blues and stuff too.
