Inspiration: Black and White

Black and white take up a huge portion of my wardrobe and how can they not? They are sophisticated, classic, elegant, simple. They embody all that I wish to. Now that it's November and winter is approaching, black and white appear in my daily outfits more and more. Black and white staples are great because their simplicity allows them to work with practically everything else you have.

 
Black is known to be particularly edgy and it is in biker chic styles, even with hints of white. A black leather jacket is an investment you'll want to make at some point in your lifetime. Add it to any outfit for an original bit of attitude.

But black doesn't have to be harsh or known as depressing. Black looks gorgeous alongside white in delicate outfits. The three photos above show feminine looks you could wear both to work or on a date. Black and white's straightforwardness also allows you to add accessories with fun patterns like leopard (as in the second picture).

An all black ensemble is as easy as an athletic outfit but looks much more chic! So next time you're feeling tired or lazy, opt for something like the outfits above. All of these outfits have different textures that make the look work. In the first picture, Olivia Palermo's browns sunglasses and Hermes bag contrast with her black fur vest. The second picture is a more laid-back look that you might wear to class: a simple black sweater, black jeans, black booties, and a black bag. Anyone could pull it off! Miranda Kerr's bold red lip and leather leggings and bag play off her sweater and wool coat. Another picture of Palermo shows her in a comfy oversized DVF turtleneck sweater paired with black leggings and knee-high black leather boots.
