STYLE GURU STYLE: Edgy, Black and White

Have you ever wanted that perfect outfit that made you feel like you were sitting front row at NYFW? Ever see those street style photos of bloggers and celebrities in funky outfits that you never imagined yourself in? Well, this week I tried it out and fell in love! With some edgy accessories, I elevated this whole look and made it something fun.

I wanted to sport a chic but edgy look so I decided to pair this printed black and white skirt with a simple black crop top to balance out the print but also let it be the focal point of the outfit. With this outfit, the accessories elevated the whole look in subtle ways. I added this amazing silver, beaded choker that picked up the silver in the clutch. Because I had a lot going on with my skirt, necklace, and bomber, I decided to keep the shoes simple and let everything else speak for itself. With an outfit like this, you do not want to over do it. You have to pick and choose what you want to shine and what you have to leave simple, which in this case was the sunglasses and shoes.

Now let’s talk about this bomber! I wanted to add some edge and do something different with this outfit I normally would not do, so I added this bomber. This piece was a special touch to the look because it took the appearance of a dinner party to street style. I love the versatility to this look because you can take things off and wear it to dinner our spice things up with the accessories and wear it to a party and feel like you’re sitting front row at NYFW!

Tip: When you don’t want to wear so much color trying playing with black and white, prints and textures. I always find this useful when I am struggling to put together an outfit. Don’t forget to be yourself and always be confident in any outfit you wear!
