Same Old Song

August 3, 2012


I feel like I reiterate it again and again, but my go-to, “when-in-doubt” combination is always black and white with gold. I feel that when you wear these two shades together, you can essentially slip on anything you want within the colours and the result will look great. The amount of flexibility in that makes it pretty much fail safe, and is perfect for those days when you don’t feel like putting much thought into your outfit or have to quickly run out the door.



Wearing: YesStyle blouse (last seen here), T.Babaton shorts via Aritzia, BCBGMAXAZRIA shoes, Bally bag, C.Wonder belt, necklace comprised of this chain belt and this headband, Joe Fresh earrings (similar), lips Revlon in Fuchsia, nails NARS Amchoor

special thanks to the talented

    Black & white are definitely a great combination and you look fantastic. That’s a great top.

    I’m so with you on the black and white with gold combination, Jen – as I’m sure you know šŸ™‚ This is a particularly lovely look for summer. The pretty lace detailling on the shoulders of this blouse gets me every time. Happy Friday!

    Those shorts look insanely comfy! The little shoulder detail is such a great way to spice up an outfit.

    I always love black and white together. Especially when it’s interesting like the shoulders on your top! And the high-waist shorts are so cute.

    I hope you have a good weekend!

    I love a black and white combo. I agree, it never let’s you down. šŸ™‚ I also love that you’re wearing yellow nail polish rather than your signature red tips. Hehehe. Looks great, Jen. What do you think about the application, though? I have a couple bottles of Nars, and whle the color is pretty opaque, it’s unfortunate that the brush is so skinny.

    Well, I hope you have a great Friday, and an even better weekend!

    xx Love & Aloha

    Oh you look absolutely stunning. I agree, black and white always go well together. It’s probably my most go-to looks if I have to be super “dressy.” I love your red lips, too! šŸ™‚

    Your style is always so classy and sophisticated! I understand why black, white and gold are fail-safe colour choices for you; they really are a great combination that never goes out of style.

    Beautiful detail in the shoulders of the blouse! Love those T.Babaton shorts. Have a pair myself and I think you styled it elegantly!
