Black and White is Easy and in Fashion

9 Jan

Black and white are in this season. Whether your personal style is preppy, casual, chic, funky or urban, try this simple and on-trend look. My B&W look pairs a graphic print shift dress with classic pearl accessories, a textured patent leather handbag, bright red heels with 60′s style and a fab vintage cream coat in warm wool. Talk about easy chic!

Stylist Tip :: I love a pop of color on my feet but if you would rather not draw attention to your legs and feet chose a simple nude pump instead and wear color in a handbag, coat or necklace.

  Taliah,
  Pearls are just so classic and work with or classic look or juxtaposed with with something trendier. Every gal needs pearls of every size, length and color.

A simple outfit, elegant and daring notes: your feet. The dress and bag are fantastic. Your shoes are too, but you need a certain audacity to use this color combination. Your tips are always very good.
