Timeless, Elegant, Classic. Today’s look is a mishmash of texture and fabrications; a mix of silk, cashmere, leather, beads, and faux fur to create one look. Black is the one color that allows us to mix and match seamlessly, for endless outfit combinations, and therein lies its beauty. When I gotta go, I grab black head-to-toe.
Not a fan of black up by your face? Does it make your skin tone pastey? Totally understandable. That’s when scarves come into play. Grab a color that looks best on you, and most likely, somewhere in the pattern, there will be some black. The color black is a blank canvas, accessorize it as you will. Today I chose an animal print oblong scarf to keep my neck warm and tie in the color of my sherpa cape. Gold accessories worked back to my black faux fur satchel.

I have to admit, that all black can look so classy when done right!!
It’s funny because over the last couple of years, I have tried NOt to buy any more black because it doesn’t look great on me.
But the scarf thing is the perfect solutions!!
Have a great weekend, Suzanne!

Hi Jodie! It’s funny, it never really occured to me that someone would not wear black until my stepmom asked if I would do a LND post (little navy dress) because she said she looks horrible in black! THen it dawned on me that if you simply add some color by your face you could wear black – easy solution, right?
Thanks for stopping by and have fabulous weekend!

I like black because it’s a great base to play with. In fact, I plan on taking a lot of black and greys on my upcoming trip. And adding a favorite scarf is really great solution. That animal print scarf is absolutely beautiful!
Hi ANdrea! Yes, black for sure is the easiest to play with. It is also so easy to mix and match brands and price points because they will always work well together!
