Feeling dramatic and minimalistic: Possible or not so?

Good evening everybody,
I haven´t had much time lasts weeks to think about my autumn capsules and so. But I am feeling Zara-ish this winter. Here in the NL´s is stil sunny, thank G. so I am not much in the mood for buying new clothes for the winter just yet. But I have decided to go purple and black-white, dramatic and minimalistic. Is it ever going to work''?

I love Zara looks, but the one/million dollar question is HOW IS IT POSSIBLE TO MAKE THEM LOOK GOOD if you are a PRETTY PEAR PETITE SZ 10-12 who LOVES COLOR and PRINTS.

I have bought in a moment of weakness a chunky oversized cardigan in zebra print from Vila for when it gets here really cold (I live here in The Netherlands for 14 years and I hate it in the winter when it is so cold and I walk like an old woman, hahah) and planning on purchasing the Art boots THEY HAVE TO BE!!! you like them?
So 1+4+5 is going to definitely be.
Something like the front look of foto 2
And 3 is for the totallyme outfit I just wannabe cozy but still fashionable days.
What do you think?
Advice is welcome
Thanks again,
Iris

OH, that cardi is FAB. LOVE this whole idea, and cannot wait to see it.

thanks for your enthousiastic comments!

Jayne, I am planning on buying a cheap jeggings in black leatherlook or coated cotton, something like that and maybe a white or black chiffon blouse. For a more dramatic look I would pair it with a polkadot blouse. The cardi is knee length. And for me is all about 8-10 cm (3-4") too long. I can just make it shorter myself.

K, I am guessing that the skirts are midcalf, so about 70-75 cm which is about 27-30 inches.

If this is a look you love, I'd suggest this blog:

Minimal, and dramatic.

Also added pictures I have saved in my own inspiration file that may be along the lines of what you're looking for. The hair/makeup on some of these may be too extreme for most people, but the lines on the garments are amazing.
