However, in recent months, I've come to really embrace black and white again! However, unlike before, I hardly ever just wear plain black and white...I always try to add some "spice."
Cargo Vest: option
Leopard Scarf: similar
Boots: similar
In the above outfit, I added a little pattern mixing with stripes and leopard...one of my FAVES! I also added two other neutral, but contrasting colors (green vest and brown boots).
Plaid Dress: Target (exact)
Boots: Corso Como/Nordstrom (similar)
Scarf: Nordstrom/BP: (option,option)
In this outfit (read original post HERE), I added just a little pop of color to spice up the black and white. Also, some people think black/white and brown is not a legit color combo but I LOVE these three colors together!! The cognac provides a great contrast to the black and white without "clashing."
So to recap, here are my tips for wearing black and white ~
* Pattern mix (leopard and even plaid are great to pair with black and white)
* Add other neutral colors such as olive green or cognac
* Add a pop of color (choose colors depending in the season such as marsala for fall or yellow for summer)

Great length on your striped dress. I need to quit buying new things and get more wear out of the ones I already have. Want to pair my striped dress with leopard like you and bought two plaid dress/tunics this weekend because you wore yours so well. Always beautiful, Casey. XO
ReplyDeleteI love both of these looks. I really enjoyed wearing dresses this summer - need to look for some that I can wear with boots and tights.
ReplyDeleteBlack and white are great bases for pops of color. Cute dresses!
ReplyDeleteLove the plaid shirt dress. And you can never go wrong with stripes ;-)

Both great dresses! I used to wear only black and white because it was so easy. I still love wearing it.

I really like both looks so much. This plaid dress looks really good on you and makes me want one too.
