STYLE GURU STYLE: Timeless In Black And White

When styling black and white together, you can never really go wrong. White on white, black on black or a combination of the two is so simply chic it will never go out of style. I love wearing white, and oftentimes wish my closet was full of white dresses so I could frolic through fields of flowers with handmade flower crowns. Obviously my dream is a little far-fetched, but why not escape into your dreams with what you wear?

I truly felt I was in a dream after scrolling through Balenciaga’s Resort 2016 collection. I was inspired by  the warm weather statement pieces as well as its sophisticated beachside feel. The collection had such a timeless effect that anyone could feel confident and gorgeous in the stunning pieces. I took the same bold color palette (black and white) and tried to make it my own.

My outfit is a white smock dress paired with black accessories and this look is one of my favorites. It is very feminine and great for those days when you want to feel beautiful. To make it more of my own, I added chunky bracelets and a floppy hat.

Black and white will never go out of style. Look at style icons Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn as everyone is always looking for Chanel’s perfect little black dress or Audrey’s gorgeous look from Breakfast at Tiffany’s. Black and white styles are so much like an old photograph…it will always be treasured.

Get My Look: 1. Any white smock dress. 2. Some fun thick bracelets.  3. A statement hat.
