This Spring we’re sticking to the basics…the basics of Black & White that is! I’m definitely head over heels for the simplicity of Black & White looks. I mean who doesn’t love the fact that you can turn a basic white tee into a piece of high fashion all by adding in a few pieces of black?! I’ve had my eye on this trend for months as I watched my favorite fashion icons shut down the red carpet with their silent but deadly creations. All I needed was the perfect pieces to try my hand at creating my own Black & White ensemble. I rushed to my nearest mall to see if I could find inspirational pieces at some of my key stores…
I picked up a pair of black drawstring harem pants from Forever21 + ($19.80), I always like to start with a versatile piece because you can take it to so many levels. Next, I wanted something mod I could wear as a top, so I stopped by H&M and lucked up on black/white striped tee. I also want to point out to my curvy Glam-Aholics that it is fashionable for us to wear stripes. You just have to make sure you create a silhouette (for all body shapes) by paying attention to the style, fit and shape of the stripes. With the Black & White trend being so basic, I had to amp it up with prints and a few eye catching details…
Since it was a little chilly outside, I went for a coat sling by draping my white jacket on my shoulders, plus it looked chic LOL! I finished my high contrast look by slipping on pair of ankle strapped pumps from Zara and tossing on a crossbody bag.
There’s no wrong way to style Black & White, you can rock a basic white tee with a pair of black skinny jeans and you’ll look like you’ve been styled by Karl Lagerfeld! 🙂
