Black & White

Although black and white is hardly a trend, the color combination seems to be everywhere right now. I love how black & white feels timeless, fresh, and even a little bit sporty.

I borrowed this Ali Ro dress from a friend and I never want to give it back! I love the feminine fit, the sporty feel of the fabric and piping, and the fun gold zipper. (It’s on sale in my size and I’m considering picking it up for myself… What do you think?) Anyway, I decided to  keep my accessories minimal and let the dress do the talking. I just added a few gold bracelets and my new favorite shoes!

    Love it on you! The keyhole back (which unfortunately you didn’t have a chance to show off) is super cute! I’m a little leery about the “dry clean only” part of the label, but at over 50% off the original price it would be a great steal to add to your closet. I could easily see this styled into fall with some patterned black tights too!
