B&W

April 18, 2017
A black and white ensemble is so classically stylish. For some people it can seem a little boring, but for me, it's a go-to outfit that never disappoints. But to avoid looking like I'm wearing a uniform, I pick pieces like what I'm wearing below—garments with small embellishments that help them stand out.

I don't usually like bell sleeves, but I wanted to try something different. I got this piece at Zara a couple months ago and have been wearing it everywhere since! It's perfect for several occasions, like work or a networking event, and I can pair it with some casual pants and rock it on my off-duty days.

These Express leggings are also such a good option for work, especially because not all leggings are. Lululemon in the office? I don't think so. But a dressier legging that looks more like a tight dress pant than something you'd go for a jog in is fair game in my opinion! The leather details and waist zippers on these leggings help enhance what would normally be an everyday black legging.
