Black and White Four - Season's trend



Dress and Shrug: Macys (old)
Clutch: T. J. Maxx
Shoes: Qupid (Burlington)

 

Black and white is a trend that has come to stay at least for now and it has evolved into very beautiful shapes and patterns for fall; plaids, gingham and grids. Since I have accumulated so much black and white in my closet for years (thanks to my colorless years of fashion sense) I gladly embrace this trend. I did not want to run to the shop to buy any of the latest pattern so, I just looked in my closet and picked a pattern that imitates this new trend. This black and white skirt was bought in Macys years ago and I love the fact that I can wear it in several ways. I have worn it as a long skirt, a tube dress with a shrug as in these pictures and a flowy dress over shorts or pants. This is the reason why I love versatile pieces.

This outfit is what I can easily wear to any party or occasion and with a black blazer, I can wear it to church too. It is very appropriate for my present pregnancy condition and also age appropriate. In between, October is gradually coming to a close and November is around the corner; the season and month of thanksgiving. There is a lot of things to give thanks for no matter the negative circumstances or events that crop up in life once in a while.


Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving your comments and thoughts. Have a great weekend and see you again soon.

Black and White - Two

 

 

 

 

 Black and white is always so simple and easy to put together considering that they can be put together in hundreds of ways. I featured some of my black and white looks on the blog last year but decided to do a count down of the ones I'm doing this year. So, this is black and white - two. For black and white - one, check here.


I started my blog to document my style makeover and I think it is going well gradually. I used to be in a lot of dark and greys and did not feel like I looked my best. Now, I'm starting to infuse some color into my closet but it does not hurt to do a black and white look or greys once in a while. Style is somewhat subjective most times and some people are comfortable in black the whole year round. I had a course mate in one of my classes when I was in college who wore black outfits to class the entire semester and I used to be amazed at this. I thought of having a conversation with her about her style but was too busy to do so. You see, fashion can be a conversation starter and we can preach any message with the way we dress. I guess everyone should be happy in their comfort zone but for me, I think color is fun. There is a reason God created us black, white and brown. There is a reason roses are red and white and pink; There is a reason trees are short and tall. Diversity is fun and diversity is beautiful. Above all, God made all things beautiful.
