Don’t be afraid to mix and match patterns when rocking the black and white trend. Since your ensemble will be all one color scheme, they’ll blend together perfectly!

Last spring we saw an explosion of color. From pastels to neon, every hue under the sun had it’s place on the runway. As much as I love color, I’m pretty excited that the timeless combo of black and white is in style yet again. This season, designers are using the two contrasting colors to make an ensemble pop. Normally I’m tempted to add a healthy dose of color to a black and white ensemble, but bold, graphic pieces make these neutral ensembles anything but dull.

I feel a shopping spree coming on! I'm slowly being dragged into the b&w obsession. Even started seeing pieces magically appearing in my closet (course all my doing lol). I love this new crave.
Happy Friday!

LOVE the bag Alicia! I hope your first couple of weeks as a last semester senior are going well. I just finished school, a semester early. It's definitely a weird feeling but a lot of fun. Best of luck đ Hope you have a wonderful rest of the week!
