Closet Confection: It’s Right There In Black & White

Black Ruffle Blouse, Black & White Scribble Plaid Skirt, Spectator Pumps

Black Ruffle Blouse, Black & White Scribble Plaid Skirt, Spectator Pumps
{Forever 21 Blouse, Express Skirt, BCBG Shoes}

I’ve owned each of these pieces for several years but never thought to wear them all together.  As I was getting dressed for work, I resisted my temptation to throw in a pop of color (read: red patent leather pumps), and I’m really glad that I did.  The graphic nature of this outfit just felt so right.  In fact, I can’t wait to add more bold black & white combos into the mix.  Below are a few of the pieces I’m craving…

{Spain Style} The Distinguished Gentleman

I typically don’t feature my husband on this blog, but I just had to give credit where credit is due…

Eric did a fantastic job packing for our recent trip to Spain.  Even though he only brought a handful of items, he managed to look fantastic and really well put together every day that we were on vacation.  I have to admit that I got a little jealous more than once as he effortlessly got ready while I struggled to figure out what to wear (especially towards the tail end of our journey).

I’m definitely taking a page out of his book for our next vacation by only packing a few key separates that I can mix and match in fun and interesting ways.
