STYLE SURGERY: HIGHLIGHTING A BLACK OUTFIT

Many fashionistas opt for black as a style signature. I cannot blame them, being myself a great fan of the dark... Not only does it suit most people but black also presents many advantages such as:

1. Easy: never goes out of style

2. Chic & cheap: black is elegant. One can find even lovely cuts and material in low costs retail chains such as Zara or H&M.

3. Practical: it allows to never wonder what will match... Black goes with everything and when one has no idea when late in the morning, black is a safe bet and a Plus: it leaves more time to make up and hair....

Black however shouldn't be boring, which often becomes the pitfall of such convenience...

For this, I propose the following looks:


Cashmere Dress by Obsid: 180Euros
Tribute bag par YSL: 700Euros
Booties Marc Jacobs : 515Euros
Gold Cuffs Van der Straeten: 200Euros

Black totally is emphasized by accessories. Personally, in this case, I would avoid heavy earrings, diamond - or swarovski crystal - studs would be ideal.
The double cuff is very chic and gives an art gallerist vibe to the ensemble...

At last, the beige boots give the outfit the possibility to be worn at work as well for a - well deserved- drink after work.
