Fashion Challenge Day 14: OOTD "Parisian Black and White"

Fashion Challenge Day 14, is my love for wearing classic black and white with a quirky French twist. The colors, black and white are known for it's classic and orthodox qualities, but easily can be styled stiff, safe, and predictable. 

Today's look is highly influenced by leading French designers who use the classic black and white colors and playfully style their looks with various frills, textures, patterns, and ribbons. 

The skirt is from France, and one of my favorite black and white skirts. The textured patterns of black circles, is a fun way to play with shapes, linear stripes, and braids. The entire look is playful, fun, and quirky, while still remaining classic.

Fashion Challenge Day 6: OOTD "Layering Stripes"

Day 6 OOTD is all about stripes. The look is as usual, very comfortable, and effortless. Based around a simple white tee by James Perse, and black jeggings by 7 of mankind, the look is very practical and easy. From there, I added a cashmere striped cardigan by BCBG and a smaller striped/leopard print scarf by Calvin Klein, for added interest in textures. I opted for no jewelry on my hands but a statement silver drop earring created by me. 

Currently, I am loving the layering effect of stripes because it confuses the eye, and grabs your attention. Take care.
