December 5, 2012

As much as I now love colour and bright patterns, there will always be a special place in my closet for black and white (after all, just four years ago that’s basically all that was in my wardrobe). Nowadays, I like to challenge myself to try making colourless ensembles more visually interesting; I find it to be especially fun to do, since staying in the same neutral palette really allows for more risks and experimental layering. Wearing: YesStyle coat, vest, jacket and top, Aritzia pants, Zara shoes, MICHAEL Michael Kors bag, BCBGMAXAZRIA headband

    You will never, ever go wrong with black and white – but you’re right, the key is to make it visually interesting. I love all of the layers of texture in this outfit. And those clear-heeled shoes get me every time 🙂

    Gorgeously chic and sophisticated! Just found your blog through Nancy’s and I have to agree, you’ve got MAD style hun! Love all the layered pieces and yummy fur vest! I used to live in the NW and LOVED seasonal weather when I could play up the wardrobe to reflect the changing times…alas moving back to SoCal makes me miss the rain even more! Can’t wait to see more from you!

    Also- I’m hosting a décor-to-dress giveaway where 3 winners will WIN a fabulous frock of their choice just in time for the holidays! Hope you’ll stop by to enter the contest!

    xo-Julie
    Peace. Love. LOL!

    Love the coat and shoes! I’ve never heard of YesStyle. How reputable are they? Are they a US-based company?
