Black and White: Wearing the Basics This Spring and Summer

When you think of springtime and summer, if you are like me, you think of those beautiful pastels and bright bold colors. Trust me, black, white and gray don’t come to mind. However, things have changed. No longer are they saved for the gloomy days of winter, but for the last few seasons, black and white have taken center stage. Here is a look at some great ways to wear black and white this summer. 

 Make those neutrals pop by adding a splash of color. I added a brilliant red blouse and red jewelry to a strapless black, white, and gray sundress.The goddess earrings are from Avon and the comfortable and stylish shoes are from Sketchers.

 Fashionsista, Margaret, is sporting a black and white stripped skirt with a white camisole. She added a black shirt with black and silver jewelry. She is also wearing black sandals. It was smart to choose stripes that were pointing down to give a slimming effect.

 Keisha is wearing a black and white dress with a cool leather jacket. This is great for those cool spring days.

Here I am in one of my favorite jackets. This is a giraffe print jacket from Isaac Mizrahi. I love Isaac! He knows how to design colors that are pretty and comfortable all at the same time. I can wear this black and white jacket with either a black or a white top. I can also add some more colors to it like red, yellow, mint, peach, etc. I added a black flair skirt and my famous scandals from Sketchers.
