Graphic Ground




After putting together this post, I was so anxious to see what outfit combinations I could come up with using black & white pieces from my own closet.  I love the mod vibe of this particular pairing, plus the mixed prints & color-blocking create enough visual interest that it only needed one bright bauble to complete the look.



What I’m wearing:

c/o Sheinside blouse (here), J. Crew shirt (similar here or here), The Limited jacket (similar), c/o Paige Denim jeans (here or similar for less here), ALDO heels (similar here or here), Mossimo bag (check your local stores; similar here or here), LOFT bracelet (on sale here), Lips: Maybelline Fifth Ave Fuschia

    THAT BAG! The black and white give it such crisp lines–I love it! as well as the one pop of yellow. Well styled.

    Best,

    Black and white has always been my favorite, but in recent years I've been "encouraging" myself to wear more color. But I can't even begin to tell you how happy I am that it's "in" for Spring 2013. And this whole outfit is fabulous 🙂 So pulled together!
