Black and White Basics

I am a big proponent of what is going on in fashion right now. Crushing over the velvet bug. Long dramatic sleeves. Tea length dresses with stacked heel boots. Plaid mini skirts. Blair Waldorf style. Mules. Boots. I love Fall shopping because its filled with lush fabrics, and loads of layers. As much as I love all that jazz, I love returning to black and white basics. Just like a French girl.

I have a lot of fun getting dressed and finding just the right piece to wear. This black jumper from Zara was just the right find. It has fun pom poms on it, and has tan A-line shape. The white crop top from DKNY was a score at Super Saturday this past summer on a crazy sale. The neck scarf is one of my many accessories that pulls the look together. Flats are trending and my feet are happy about that. And Chanel bag? That is the cherry on the cake. A little birthday gift from my husband.

the question I always ask myself is whether I feel more comfortable just fitting in? If I just dress for a normal day, I would wear thi. Its super chic, comfortable, and never goes out of style. No pressure, no “road mapping”, and not so much thought goes into this look.

Fashion is ever evolving, and instead of being a grand spectacle, it might become what it always should be. Just a day in the life of you. I don’t have the answers, but the key is always to be yourself. Shop my French girl look below.
