Black and white with a little spice...



Today, is a little sad for me. I am throwing myself into work by reading a book to inspire my creativity and get my mind off the things that weigh me down and distract me.

I will share some interesting tidbits with you in a future post, so stay tuned.  Black and white is such a classic combo and always looks timeless.  I mixed up this clasic combo by combining a checkered jacket with zebra print shoes.  Red is often paired with black and white, but I thought it would make an interesting combo to throw in some green pops of color.  Yes, I know green and red is Christmasy...but who says you can't have a little Christmas in the spring?

Black and white jacket: F-21, Black pants: Dillards, Red top: Windsor, Zebra Pumps: Naughty Monkey, Ring: Los Angeles Fashion District, Green Handbag: Los Angeles Fashion District, bracelet: Nordstrom

I love the bow on the back of this jacket
A zebra pump can make a sad day a bit happier
I am talking and explaining something to a random stranger in the park. I must have really been into what I was saying...


Interesting title, huh?

Be fearless! Be fantabulous! and have an amazing Monday!
