Black and White



Black and white is a big fashion trend now and for spring.  I love the clean, fresh look of black and white.  It is so uncomplicated after a season of color and bling.

 Jessica Alba wore this to Golden Globes after-party.

We all have our favorite black pieces for the bottom half.

This is a "safe" way to style black and white in winter.

Using stripes would be more of a 2013 way to style b & w.

Maybe all you need to add is a graphic b & w accessory.

  2. Love, love, love black and white! Thanks for inspiring me to remain with my faves for spring and summer instead of falling for all the bright spring colors that will invade the stores soon. I buy some items in those colors and then they sit in my closet all summer while I wear black and white. Love your blog....first one I go to every day!
