Growing up, I’ve always associated work attire with standard black and white pieces. And I would remember thinking about how mundane and boring corporate dressing looked. It’s funny how now one of the most common color combinations that I wear is black and white. I’ve come to realize that there’s absolutely nothing boring about simplicity.
You guys know my obsession with a good white button down, but I love the very feminine and billowy silhouette this blouse has. I like how it balances out the more masculine pants, like a pair of tailored leather joggers. The look reminds me of the recent Gucci resort collection that was all vintage inspired. I loved the rounded and pleated collars with the thin black bow! When working with black and white pieces, it’s important to look for interesting silhouettes and cool details. It’s all about how you wear it. Not to mention … you can never go wrong with a black and white outfit!
Remember, simplicity is always chic!

Trends I'm Loving Right Now
While I'm always hopping from trend to trend there are three in particular that has totally captured my heart (and closet) this season.
Good Morning,
GREAT website with lots of wonderful photos, recommendations and inspiration. It’s also a welcome surprise to see outstanding styling with a majority of the recommended pieces that our moderately priced.
I was hoping you could help with the following. I’m so excited that I will be accompanying my husband to Tokyo during the third week of February for a week. I’ve never been to Tokyo and would really appreciate some advice. The majority of the time I will be on my own, possibly with a guide, walking around gardens, sightseeing, visiting temples and of course some shopping. I love your style and would appreciate what you would recommend I pack (I wear dresses the majority of the time when I travel) that looks chic (monochrome?) and what shoes you would recommend — love high heels but not sure for walking around for 12 hours.
Thank you
Susan
P.S. I look forward to following your beauty routine for my flight.
Hi Susan! How exciting! When I travel and will have to be walking around all day, I like to wear a cute pair of flat boots or some chic tennis shoes! One of my biggest tips for traveling is to pack in a neutral color palette with pops of color in your accessories- that way you can mix and match your clothes! As for dresses- t-shirt dresses are great to throw on when traveling, but I always make sure to pack a pair of jeans just in case! Hope this helps! xoxo Chriselle
Gorgeous as always! Timeless beauty 🙂
