Black and White – Work to Play

Is there really a simpler combination than black and white?  Every time I put these two together the result is always a win.  I’ve had most of these pieces for quite a while and I’m sure have worn some combination multiple times.

For a summer look at the office, the cropped pants from Loft are the perfect weight topped with a lightweight shell.  My office is typically chilly so adding a Black Jacket (similar) is almost always a must.  I’m loving this black and white swing top and it is currently on sale in 3 colors!  

And these cage heels, well they have never once let me down for work or girls night out.  Mine have been sold out forever but I am loving these with a block heel from the same designer.

I’m positively still in love with all the Stella and Dot accessories I’ve picked up this summer, especially this fun clutch and wrap bracelet.  They have been super heavy in the rotation.  The City Slim Clutch has sold out twice but is now back in stock! The Gilded Path wrap bracelet has been so fun in white and I’m now dying to grab the black just released as part of the fall line.  

Even the short walk to the car during the summer months can have me sweating so easily shedding a jacket is a huge plus.

So many nights I’m rushing home and only have a few minutes to change before heading back out for kids activities.  I was pleasantly surprised with this easy combo.  Of course I’m always grabbing for the J. Crew Factory shorts in 4″ or 5″ and this time of year they are always on sale.  I also snagged this pair of Cabernet 5″ from J. Crew hoping they will be perfect with a white top for some Aggie football soon!

The blue jean vest really brings the satin tank down to a more casual level and it’s now perfect for carpooling kids around or heading out for dinner.

The gladiator sandals from Target have definitely held their weight this summer.  They are comfortable while also holding up really well.

This was such a fun look to pull together!  While the top outfit worked really well for the office, I have to say I was most pleased pulling together the more casual option.  What do you think?

Do you have a go to color combo when you are feeling a little lazy in your closet?

  7. So cute and classic. I recently wore a black and white patterned top with black skinnies and some red shoes and I felt so trendy. Love this playful combo and all the ways you styled it.

  9. I agree! I love black and white, too! It's so classic, and perfect for those events when you're not sure what to wear…is it dressy…is it casual? Black and white can go either way! I LOVE the heels and sandals in this post. Very cute!! Hope you have a fantastic Thursday!
