I know I’ve been overdosing on bright colors lately, but believe it or not, I’m also loving black and white looks for spring.  The contrast makes for a chic ensemble, whether it be in the form of sharp color-blocking or whimsical prints.  Check out a few of my favorite B&W pieces!

It’s no secret that I love to mix prints and patterns: striped, floral, geometric, animal — you name it, I’ve mixed it.  So when I matched a striped shirt with a geometric print pant (a no-brainer in my book), I figured I would take it up one more notch and throw some leopard into the mix.  The result: an eclectic combination that blends together perfectly!

Spring is here!!! … well, sort of.  The forecast still includes chilly temps and possibly snow later this week, but I’d like to think if I start dressing for spring, the season will follow suit.  So floral pants and neon pumps it is — the weather will have no choice but to cooperate!
