monochrome

BLACK/WHITE. I know, I know, spring is here and we’re supposed to dress up in all the colors of the rainbow, but for some reason I’ve been really drawn to simple, black/white outfits lately. I wore the look above during the heatwave last week and I have a feeling that this Andemiu blazer will be one of my favorite pieces for s/s 13!

BLAZER Andemiu (similar ones here & here). SHIRT Gina Tricot (similar one here!). LEATHER SKIRT old one from Zara (similar one here!). BAG Proenza Schouler (here). SUNGLASSES Céline. HEELS H&M

It’s unbelievable that those ankle strap sandals are from H&M! They’re so beautiful… I love black and white outfits: they’re classic and elegant!

That blazer is AMAZING and it looks so deliciously crispy!
I would love to see a post with the blazer done up so I can get a feel for the cut (just a suggestion though :) )
A neutral palette is refreshing for spring, I quite like it.

You always look stunning!

I like the fact that you’re NOT wearing the typical spring-is-here, super colorful ensemble. It’s a refreshing look and it still looks very Spring-appropriate.
