This Summer 13’s biggest trend alert was Black & White. Whether it was bold graphic patterns such as stripes, checkered, chevron or zebra, the combination of the two was the hottest palette, from the runway to the streets. This was my Sunday version of the classic Blanco y Negro (Translation: Black & White).
I’ve always been a fan of simplicity because it reminds me of elegance and serenity. It reminds me that less is more and for this outfit, though it may be very simple, I feel like it stands out A LOT. It’s a fresh clean look for any day of the week and I literally got ready in 10 minutes to attend Sunday mass.
Like always, I kept my jewelry at an extra minimal. Studded earrings are almost always, if not ALWAYS, my earrings of choice. I added this silver mirrored necklace to avoid being so bare. I really like how understated this necklace looked with this whole outfit. YET, without it, the look would have been incomplete!
To make the fit stray away from basic white blouses, I threw on this peplum top to give it femininity. I love this top not only because it has a bow and a low cut, open back but also because it has a mini asymmetrical cut in the back. Call it a little tail or a strand of extra fabric but I absolutely love it because it was NOT the common peplum fit.
Do you see why little features like a bow, an open back and even a certain “weird” cut can make all the difference in the world in your clothes. Though you may look basic in the front, you will always leave people staring at you from behind. Simple details like these keep your outfits looking trendy and cute. Remember: Change is good and daring to try new styles is worth a try. You have nothing to lose!
Another way I decided to give this outfit another pop without having any bedazzle or crazy prints on me was through my favorite accessory of them all…SHOES!!! I came across these puppies at one of my favorite online stores, Charlotte Russe. I love shopping for heels here because #1, it’s EXTREMELY affordable, #2, they carry A LOT of variety and #3, the most important reason of all, they carry size 5!!! If you only knew how much I struggle to find cute, trendy shoes in my size at an affordable price. Girrrrl! I have stories for days!!! …ANYWAY, let’s focus…SHOES!!!
When I saw these babies, I knew I had to get them. NOW, this isn’t everybody’s taste and some of you may be thinking, “Stripper shoes, REALLY?” But, I love these! To me, they’re a fun fit without being SO obnoxious and overwhelming. I love that they’re so basic and can be worn for a million and one looks. From sporty to classy fem and casual to a sexy night out. They are my all new fav!
Well there you have it! My late Sunday post which I apologize. Hope you guys enjoyed it as much as I did writing it! Have a BLESSED week my lovies!!! XO-M
