Trending Spring 2013: Black & White

Dress - Banana Republic
Bracelet - Ebay
Watch - Michael Kors
Flats - Tory Burch
Nail Polish - Essie: Tart Deco







As unusual as it sounds, one of this biggest trends this spring is black and white. It was all over the fashion week runways, by some of my favourite designers such as Marc JacobsMichael Kors and Alexander Wang(All based out of New York, one of the most inspiring cities in the world.) The classic combination is easy to wear and gives a sleek and sophisticated look to any outfit.















For a simple take on the trend, I decided to go with a printed maxi dress. It's always been difficult for me to find maxis that fit because of my height - 5'5". This dress is perfect because it ends right at my ankles and doesn't drown me in fabric. The print is enough of a statement so I don't have to overload on accessories. I went with a rose gold watch and a bracelet to add some colour, then slipped on my classic Revas to complete the look.

The black and white trend is definitely a staple of mine this season, but I'm also looking forward to tons of neons in the upcoming months. I definitely want to branch out of my comfort zone and expand my style spectrum this year. Fashion is constantly progressing, so why not experiment?

Cheers,
J

  5. I'm 5'6" and I end up dragging maxi dresses everywhere, it is really is tough and I hate paying extra to get them trimmed.
    This one is really nice, the print is intricate but not too busy :)
