Few things are more classic than black and white. It’s crisp. It’s clean. It works well on most skin tones and it is easy to style. Black and white is also versatile through the seasons and will forever make a casual look a little more upscale.

Most of the time when you see the floral patterns of spring roll in you are moving the black and white out. Maybe it’s because it seems like spring and summer just need to be colorful and bright but I really feel like black and white still has it’s place.

No matter the season you will always need outfits for dressy occasions.

The dress I am wearing is from The Villa in Mandeville and one of my favorite spring looks. I wanted to give you a few options for black and white that you could get online.
