Are you getting ready for a fun or maybe relaxing weekend?
You
are about to see some outfits that would take you to the beach,
shopping, movies, and out to dinner, all in black and white. It doesn’t
get any simpler than that…..
It
is summer and it is hot! Even if it is hot I still like to look
fashionable. Black and White is my go-to color combination for the
summer.
I
often see outfits that I probably would not wear the entire outfit, but
it still will inspire me to put some of the pieces together.
For
instance the outfit above. Obviously I won’t be wearing shorts that
short, since my legs are not that long, young or tan, BUT I can wear
every single other piece pictured with my white jeans or walking shorts
in white.
This is my go-to outfit! I love the pop of green in the shoes with this all black and white outfit.
I am loving the return of the maxi this season. It is a dress-up, dress-down piece.
The biggest mistake I see women making when wearing a maxi is to place a regular lenght and weight cardigan over the dress.
If
you choose to put a light weight sweater over your shoulders, make sure
it is a shorter length, one that hits right at the top of your waist,
and is close to your body. It also needs to be a very light weight knit.
Leather Sperry’s will stay in your wardrobe forever. Love the black and white top with the pop of cobalt blue.
Of
course this lady will be wearing a longer pair of shorts. What I like
about this outfit is the addition of the brown leather. It makes it look
like you did not try too hard to make an outfit. The aviators make it
fun and current.
I can see myself wearing this blouse for years.
Using accessories is what makes this simple maxi a stand-out. I would probably eliminate one of the cheetah prints.
I
would switch out the purse, or the shoes for simple black. Since the
model is wearing tortoise sunglasses there needs to only be one more
cheetah statement. IMHO
This
is just fun! I would add a pop of color in the small belt. I can see
bright yellow, bright green, or turquoise in a patent belt.
Each and every piece I have shown you today I would wear and could plan my summer wardrobe with the above pieces.
????QUESTION FOR YOU????
I
normally write about design on my blog, but fashion is another love of
mine. I am thinking about taking one day a week to write a blog post
about fashion.
Would you all enjoy this, or do you prefer all design/lifestyle related post? Kathysue’s inquiring mind would like to know.
You can see all of the above images, and more of what I like, on my pinterest board……..
