    Dress Up in Black and White

    Dress Up in Black and White 

    Last week’s posts were all about fitness wear and this week we are dressing up with a winning color combination. One of my first jobs as a buyer was working for White House Black Market…we wore black and white every day and, since then, I have enjoyed the color combination because it is easy to coordinate, always looks polished and the styles tend to be timeless. Even with a closet, packed with black and white clothing, I always like to add a few pieces each season to incorporate the latest details.

    Pretty Polka Dots 

    Polka dots have been on the style horizon for the past couple of seasons…I covered this trend last year and continue to see more styles when I am shopping. One thing I have noticed this season is that the size of the polka dots is increasing which keeps this trend fresh. These pretty polka dot styles will keep your spring style spot on! Style & Life Blog: Pretty Polka Dots This polka dot skirt is cute and casual. I chose to dress it down with a casual tee and sneakers but you could also dress it up with a nice heel and the coordinating top. Skirt and sneakers available at www.bloomingdales.com, top available at www.express.com.

Here are a few pieces that range from everyday casual to over-the-top fashion forward in this staple color combination.

    Classic Black and White 

    They’re called classics for a reason…timeless, polished and always relevant. Black and white is a chic and easy color combination to wear because you usually have a plethora of shoes and accessories to complement.  And if you don’t know what to wear, it is always a safe option. Some of my favorite classic black and white dresses from this Spring are featured below!  

    Need to run around in comfort and style on the weekend? This Soft Joie casual dress is easy to throw on with sneakers (like those featured in post Chic Sneakers ) for running errands or hanging at the park. Made from a soft and cozy jersey fabric, it almost feels like you are wearing pajamas. Available at www.saks.com.

    This Diane Von Furstenberg Brenndah silk dress is as classic as it gets…a wrap dress silhouette in a black and white print. However, the side tie and asymmetric hem gives it a modern and feminine vibe. Available at www.revolve.com.

     

    Style & Life Black and White

    This fashion staple will never go out of style..the Annalisa LBD is a fitted ponte dress with trumpet hem. The style dresses up beautifully in the soft luxurious ponte fabric.  Instead of wearing a pop of color with this dress, I opted to wear this beautiful black and white bracelet from Lele Sadoughi. Bracelet available at www.neimanmarcus.com. Dress available at www.shopbop.com.

     

    Hope you find some new inspiration for this classic color combination this Spring!
