Happy Thursday, friends! I'm joining in with the lovely ladies who came up with this link party, Ageless Style. I'm glad you're here today, and I'm also happy that I remembered to participate this month. Insert emoji with the girl holding her hand over her eyes. Life is rough sometimes, friends. 🤣 We're talking about black and white today; I hope you walk away inspired!
I love the combination of black and white, or either color with a neutral base or top. Also, thanks to the days I've spent performing with choirs, when I can't decide on what to wear, I go with all black. It's sleek, it's slenderizing, and it's classic. I like to add a fun pop of color somewhere when I do this, either with my glasses, or brightly colored jewelry or shoes. I loved doing this at Christmas with red flats!
I'm starting with an outfit I never wore. I wanted some wide legged pants, and when I saw these on Amazon, I knew that I loved them. I hope to wear them soon! I love the combination with the white tank and the black blazer. The blazer is one by The Loft that I found on Thread Up for $10! I've worn it a couple of times this spring, but I anticipate wearing it more in the fall.
This is an old favorite black dress; see what I mean with the pop of color somewhere? I'm still loving the new readers I bought while I was in Louisville a couple of weeks ago!
This was the night of Good Friday; it's hard to tell, but I've got on that black blazer with a black tank underneath. We had to wear all black that night, which seemed appropriate.
As you can see, I wear black pretty often and am always on the hunt for a new dress or top. I wear it so much that the pieces I have tend to become faded from wear; I love wearing black with jeans or with a different colored bottom. I recently learned that black is one of three power colors; the other two are red and white. Black symbolizes power, red symbolizes being flirty, and white symbolizes being angelic. Interesting, right? I also heard on the same video that wearing a favorite color helps boost confidence, and I wholeheartedly agree with that statement.
What do you think of the black and white combo? Do you have a uniform like I do, when you can't decide on what to wear? I'd love to hear from you! Thanks for reading my blog today and linking up with us! I'll see you back here tomorrow for Friday Favorites. Love to all!

You are looking so fabulous my friend and love your black and white outfits- on point!
ReplyDeleteThank you, sweet friend!
DeleteThe first outfit is so classy and put together. When in doubt, black and white! I love black so much. I love black on black, too. I like my white pants with a black top - it's kind of unexpected to flip it like that.
ReplyDeleteI love it, and just haven't had the chance to wear it since I almost wore it that week. I like the white pants and black top, too! It's unexpected. I still tend to wear my neutral sandals with my black, though...I like for my shoes to disappear sometimes and black seems so harsh on me.
DeleteAll the outfits look good on you! I tend to wear a lot of black. I don't like to think too much about my outfits most of the time- wearing black seems classic and it's an easy decision to make.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's true that it's always an easy choice to wear; I feel the same and reach for it often, which is why I will always be looking for a new black top.
DeleteI love those black and white pants! I’m sure you will find so many different things to wear with them!

Thank you! I think I'll wear them a lot, too. I know I'll wear them for work when I start back at the school in July!
DeleteBlack pants are always a good choice, slimming and go with a lot of top combinations. I don't wear solid white tops because they end up with sauce, gravy, oil, ketchup drips and the residue never comes out.
ReplyDeleteI think so too! That part about the white shirt made me laugh. Things do seem to just jump onto the material, right?
DeleteI have lots of black in my wardrobe. I heard on the big boo podcast that the Loreal glotion was a recommendation this week. You're an influencer...they probably heard about it from you. ;)
ReplyDeleteSame! And I'm always looking for new. That made me laugh! It's an amazing product. I need to reorder some!
DeleteWhile these are all great I LOVE that first outfit so much. I definitely tend to reach for black a lot and fall back on a predominately black outfit with a pop of color when I'm stuck on what to wear.
ReplyDeleteThose black and white pants are amazing!!
