While we appreciate the simplicity of the minimal look that's everywhere right now, donning a wash of tonal grays day after day is like eating bland chicken and steamed broccoli for every meal — not the most creative or exciting. And why waste 365 opportunities a year to legitimately love what you’re wearing? To help you dress the expressive, impactful way we know you really want to (style #goals, right?), we’re hooking you up with the chance to win $2,000 to Bill Blass, one of our favorite new-old destinations for turning up our personal style. Since relaunching this past fall, the iconic brand has mastered the art of forward-thinking fashion you can actually wear IRL.
Click through for a taste of the cherry-on-top pieces that could light up your closet, and enter here to win the $2K. After all — to paraphrase a fashion-girl truism — life’s too short to only wear gray.

Proof allover sequins can count as daywear.
This is how to do color the luxe way.
Wear this way-more-fun take on the power suit as a full ensemble; then separate the jacket and slip dress to mix and match new outfits galore.
The dramatic proportions make this work-appropriate look special enough for after hours, too.
Dressing for comfort has never looked so cool.
Nothing beats a throw-on-and-go shirtdress — except one with endless layering potential.
Stand out in a sea of stiff black blazers with punchier staples that'll last just as long.
A touch stressed? At least your chic-as-heck handbag can handle it.
A paillette-splashed top may say "party" at first glance, but a lemon-colored tote and suede slip-ons keep things casual.
Yep, matchy-matchy can be a very good thing. (Anyone else craving a sandwich?)
Show off your fun side in a classic sweater-and-skirt combo that's every bit surprising.
