Black, white and a pop of color




Blazer- Forever 21  option  option  option
blouse- JCPenney
pants- Gap
shoes- Belk option
necklace- Lulu's  option
 
I love black and white with a pop of color. You've seen me use this formula many times and you will see it again.  The blouse is a recent purchase, prior to the capsule. But let me say, I'm not limiting shopping during the capsule. If I see something at a good deal that will work year round or going forward to summer, I'm purchasing it. In fact, I bought three more pairs of shoes lasts week. Oh my! Two of them are comfort flats for running through the airport. Yep, I'm on a work related trip and I'm not so airport savvy. I've also got a short time frame on arrival from the conference to the return take off, so I needed some comfortable flats that would pass as business casual. I may be in an all out sprint once I clear check in. Fingers crossed and lots of prayers please!
 
Back to the outfit- I promise this blazer is coral. The last couple of times I've photographed it, it appears more pink. But I promise there is an orange tint there. And I didn't do a good job of capturing the necklace, it's best seen here.

Black, white and a touch of green

This was my St. Patrick's Day outfit- black, white and of course, green. I have been meaning to wear this jacket more, so it was the perfect choice for the holiday. And I had to go with black and white so I could wear my new shoes. It's hard to tell from the pics but the white part is perforated. These are also from the comfort line at Payless that I talked about recently.

Black, white and cobalt

Finally- a pair of white pants. For the past two to three years, I have tried on numerous pairs of white pants. It's one of those items that has to fit just right and can't be too thin. I got serious about finding a pair of white pants this year because I keep pinning outfits with white bottoms. I tried out pairs from Gap, Limited and Loft. Just like with the boyfriend jeans and the white jeans, Loft won! The pants I tried from each retailer passed the test on not being "see through" but the fit was not right from Gap or Limited.

This first debut of the white pants was inspired by a display I saw at Macy's. Sometimes a shopping trip is a success without a purchase. The displays can be sources of outfit inspiration. I saw a black/white graphic top paired with cobalt and instantly thought of this blouse in my closet. To kick it up, I added the striped pumps.

I knew when I purchased this skirt in early fall that I could take into cooler weather. All it needed was a sweater and boots.
 
Are you ready for Christmas? Have you got all your shopping, wrapping, decorating, etc. done? We are about half way there.

Loved this outfit, but sadly, it's a one time affair. Since I've lost weight, the pants are too big and by the end of the night, they were about to fall off. The shoes were brand new, and cut into the back of my legs. When I tried them on, I didn't notice that they hit at a weird place, but they do. The pants and shoes went into the Goodwill pile as soon as I got home that night.

Nany's Closet has a black and white challenge going on. I managed to throw in a black and white outfit this week in time to link up. Black and white is always classic and always easy. Patterns and fun accessories kick it up a notch. I thrifted that ribbon belt and was going to cut it up for a craft project, but after wearing it, maybe not.
