Wearing "head-to-toe black" crosses my mind almost daily when figuring out what to wear. Classic, chic, flattering...it's hard to stay away. I've discovered after much experimenting over the years that there are a variety of ways to style the "head-to-toe black" look without it becoming mundane. One way is to mix textures of the same color, as I recently talked about in this post. I love how even though this leather vest is black like the other pieces in this ensemble, it still "pops" from the outfit because of it's texture. The same goes for the faux croc handbag from Target. Another way to style this popular look is adding a "pop of color" or a "pop of print". In this particular look I brought a "pop of color" through my lip color and a "pop of print" through these adorable leopard loafers, also from Target! You all know I love my heels, but if I've got to wear flats, these are definitely a fun option!

How do you like to style a "head-to-toe black" outfit? I'd love to hear ideas in the comments! Thanks for stopping by! :)

Date Night

My sister-in-law got me the cutest faux leather tank (the back is sheer) for Christmas, and the cruise my husband and I went on last month was the perfect time to try it out solo without a jacket. As I mentioned in my last post, I loved "dressing up" for dinners on the cruise, even the "casual dress" ones, because every night felt like a date night!

Speaking of date nights, this is a great go-to date night outfit. A leather tank (or any top with leather accents) provides a bit of sass/edge, while boyfriend jeans give off a relaxed vibe, and a pair of strappy heels incorporate some sophistication. Add a few metallic accessories, a classic clutch, and a bold lip (try a red-orange shade for spring/summer), and your date night outfit is complete!

Thanks for stopping by! :)
