Back to Black

As I've mentioned before, prior to the beginning of my blogging experience, my closet was about 75% black.  Now, it's dwindling down to less than 50%.  It's funny because I used to really only feel comfortable in black--I find that there is something really sleek and chic about it, but I'm really, really into color nowadays and yesterday I felt somewhat odd wearing all black.  If you look closely at my sweater, you'll notice that it's fuzzy in the front....so, of course my husband asked me if I was wearing a bear on my shirt. :)

Sweater: H&M
Jeans: Gap
Jewels: Braclets: Vintage (Similar); Earrings- Unique LA (cute ones here)
Bag: Vintage Chanel
Shoes: Zara

  2. I love black, because it's so flattering and also hides those not so flattering areas :) I love that you added the pink bag for a pop of color and the gold shoes for a little bling.

  35. Ooooo...love this outfit on you, Allison. I do love love an all-black outfit once in awhile, and like you, most of my clothes before were black just coz it was so easy to match everything especially when you're running late for work:P I do love how u used the bag as a pop of colour!

  36. love the details on this outfit!

    ReplyDelete

  39. That is one of the coolest shirts ever, it photographs so well and has the coolest mix of texture. (I love the idea of it as well, it looks so soft!) I really like how you kept the shirt the star and went with just black pants and those gorgeous shoes.

    ReplyDelete

  40. Haha! Men are so funny with fashion. Women really do dress for other women.
    I'm the exact same with black. I honestly didn't realize how much I owned until I started taking photos of it. I think you look amazing in this all black look. Very classy and chic. And those Zara flats are so gorgeous. They never had them in my size here and now I want them even more!

  51. Oh how I love these shoes! But also your outfit is great, black looks really good on you :) When I was younger I only wore black, white and grey but I think that´s because I wasn´t self-confident at all, now I love colours :D

  60. Oh my gosh those shoes!!!!! I wish I hadn't seen them since I'm so poor right now... I may have to sell something to buy them. I'm obsessed- and I love those earrings! I know how you feel about being in all black- but these gorgeous gold accents and that bag... o_0 one of my favorite looks of yours, all the details are perfect. Thanks for your sweet comment too by the way, I kind of went a little nuts in my rant about my hair lol.
