Chic Meets Grunge

One of my favorite color palettes is black and white. The colors are timeless, but the fun part is black and white can be styled so many different ways. There is simply no limit or specific genre the colors fit in, so you can try literally any trend in this palette.

With this ensemble I was inspired by the cold shoulder design on this G by Guess sweater. I wanted to create a black and white look with it that is spring ready but with a touch of edge/grunge so I added G by Guess combat boots! The mix tied together with classic white denim shorts and retro sunglasses perfectly.

The Breakdown!

So this sweater is an excellent piece to add to your spring wardrobe because it is so transitional! I love the think knit, designed for a loose fit so that it is perfect for breezier days. Since the weather has been changing daily here this sweater is also great paired with jeans on cooler days.

The shorts I am wearing are from Old Navy, and my favorite staple spring and summertime shorts. I love the length and rolled cuff accent, not to mention the great stretch fit denim!

For accessories I went all out with a satin choker from Sam Moon, a beautiful Kendra Scott bangle, dainty bar bracelet from French Cuff Boutique, and my favorite macrame bracelets from Luca Love. My clutch is such a cute and versatile piece I picked up at Stage Stores. It is Ivanka Trump brand and comes with a portable phone charger! And lastly, my sunglasses. I picked up these Jessica Simpson Retro inspired shades from Stage Stores and absolutely love them! They pair so well with everything and really add the finishing touch to this look.

If you are looking for a way to try out a new look or style, try it out in black and white! It’s easy to match and for me, feels like less of a risk, yet you get all the rewards of style!
