Black and White Patterned Jacket

As a two year resident of San Francisco, I can say with confidence, that you can never own enough jackets! Not necessarily your down or fleece-lined parkas, but lightweight jackets that are easy to layer with are a wardrobe necessity. Although the temperature may rise to a gorgeous cloudless 70 degrees during the day, once the evening strikes and the wind picks up, it gets chilly – even during the summer months.

When I came across this black and white patterned jacket at H&M, I grabbed it up immediately. Fitted and just the right weight, this classic beauty is suitable for wearing all year round. This weekend I paired it with a light pink sleeveless blouse and white bandage skirt (black would work too). Although I am a huge fan of monochromatic color schemes, I incorporated pale pink for a nice feminine touch. On a cooler day, I might style this jacket with black slacks and a white button-down boyfriend shirt. I polished off my Sunday Funday look with pearl jewelry and my favorite black and white tassel sandals from ShoeDazzle.

Black and White Never Fails

Black and white never fails. By that I mean this combination will forever be considered a classic. Whether it is a black and white dress, a jumpsuit, or shorts and a top, you cannot go wrong with a good black and white outfit. I like to throw together an ensemble featuring these hues when I am in a rush or having one of those, “I have nothing to wear” moments. Just like black on black, black and white requires little to no thinking at all!

When I came across the Nayala hooded heel by Izabella Rue on ShoeDazzle, I knew they would be the perfect finishing touch to a fashion-forward b&w look! Truly unique from any other style already in my shoe collection, these kicks look just like a 4.5 inch high open-toe bootie, plus a flirty tassel detail. I was pleasantly surprised by their level of comfort. I easily walked four or five blocks to our shoot location and my feet felt fine and dandy. With the shoe being the statement piece in this ensemble, styling the rest was pretty straight forward. I chose a pair of cut-off shorts because I did not want pants to coverup any of the goodness. Although virtually any black top would have worked, I chose a solid black twist front top from Current Clothing. This top is a great example of a basic with a twist! Pair it with a black cami for a traditional look or pair it with a printed bandeau for a boho chic look. Anyway, I accessorized with a fun tri-tone necklace and a gold knuckle ring with matching bracelet. How could I forget the plaid clutch wallet! You have probably noticed by now that this purse has become one of my go-to items. If you add it to your wardrobe, I promise it’ll become one of your favs too!
