Simple Shift

Oh, the life of a fashion blogger posing for pictures on the windy downtown streets! A muted palette seems to be the trend as the NC wintery mix continues. I can only seem to muster the energy for a dress and boots. Today, it's back to black and white. Sigh!

Flashy Fringe

When I think of fringe;  playful and party come to mind. Not to mention it embraces this summer's Great Gatsby's 1920's glitz theme. Amplifying the texture even more is the layering of lace. Today's version is somewhat dressed down, but could totally steal the spotlight by adding a sequin tank and a glass of champagne! (always add champagne) Though I have embraced the ensemble as black and white, color could easily be added with a bold clutch or bag,  an edgy pump or simply a coral lip!
