There’s something undeniably classic about a pair of jeans and a crisp, white button-up, but, as you may have noticed, my definition of classic is anything but plain.  My basics usually involve playful patterns and unexpected combinations and this outfit definitely delivers a twist on otherwise timeless pieces.  Polka dot and leopard?  They’re the new neutrals!

Bright colors will always be my jam, but lately, I’ve been gravitating more towards black and white.  The combo is effortlessly sophisticated.  It’s chic on its own, or the perfect canvas for a pop of color (see yesterday’s outfit for proof).  Check out a few of my favorite black and white pieces and let me know how you style up the color duo.

This past weekend, James, Tracy and I went on a cruise to benefit the Susan G. Komen Foundation and wearing this hot pink skirt for the occasion was a no brainer.  I kept things simple the first time I wore this skirt, but this time around, I channeled a bit of the Pink Ladies from Grease.  Part tough, part girly, and all for a good cause.
