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.

Friends, let me introduce you to my latest shopping discovery: Le Tote!  It’s a site that gives you access to an unlimited closet.  Think chic little boutique meets Netflix.  For a monthly fee, Le Tote sends you a package of three garments and two accessories based on your style profile.  You can rock them for as long as you like or send them back and get a new selection as many times as you want over the course of the month!

When I opened up my first Le Tote, I was giddy to find this orange graphic print dress in the selection.  Bright color, bold print — there’s no denying that this dress is totally me.  It was the perfect dress for a day of exploring downtown with the bf, followed by drinks with this cutie.
