Coco Chanel, one of my style icons, perhaps said it best: "Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. ... [Its] beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony." Everyone looks amazing in black, it is elegant and chic; black is slimming; black looks good on all skin tones; black looks good with all hair colors; black looks as good on men as it does on women. The dress code makes clothes buying and getting dressed in the morning easier.
One thing you should put in mind while pulling together an all black outfit is, vary the fabrics and in my case, i went for a sheer oversized blouse with spandex leggings. My shoes were patent leather Louboutins so I figured out pointy heels would balance off the outfit.
Another advantage with going for a lack outfit is you are allowed to go all out with your accessories, you can pull a bold color or just go for less but visible  bronze accessories as I did. The neckpiece is a converted chain belt. I had a bold red lip and statement bronze earrings
                      Oh yea, this blouse has a hood.....how retro is that?
This is a very simple look, anyone can pull it, and if you arent a heels person you can go for some nice flatties. You can turn it into a party outfit or an everyday simple go to look, amazing isn't it?

                                  THE NAUTICAL STRIPPED HI-LO TOP

Lately, I have been obsessed with cropped tops especially the hot sweaty days. I wore this look for a simple day going shoe shopping with my gals, It was versatile and incase it got chilly, all I had to do was button up the denim vest I had on top. I grabbed my fedora straw hat, sun glasses and these leather capped cute flatties with clear sides (read,my new obsession). I am not much of a leggings fan but I decided to do these with a simple look.

My second look, I wore for just day in town with my siz, I went for a lil' color blocking and cargo pants. The shoes, I got in my shopping escapade mentioned above...I hesitated buying it but my gal...Jules convinced and I owe her one for that, I loved the tiers and the ankle bootish look it has. I then carried my oversized floral purse.
