Not So Basic Black

Always classic, always elegant, there is a special kind of magic that comes with a bold black dress (or in this case set) moment, isn’t there? I certainly think so, which is why I can’t imagine Holiday season without it. This year, I found it rather early! I’ve always been a fan of Amur (did you guys know they are a sustainable company?), but this particular set is probably my all-time favorite! Love the movement and the cut, but also the elegant rushing paired with stark pleats!

Since I am a big believer in dramatic black dress moments, I thought I’d share a few other favorites I currently have my eye on!

Accents are key, and lately, I love pairing my black dresses with clear PVC clutches. A slightly more modern and fresher approach to a classic evening bag, they do a great job adding a bit of edge to classic looks. Love that!

Pearls… Pearls will always have a special place in my heart, which is why I practically live in pearl earrings. But I especially love the way they pair with black and classic red lip.

Like I said before, clear is a bit of an obsession at the moment, and shoes are no exception! Dramatic, elegant, and just plain fun, fact that they elongate your legs like nothing else is definitely icing on the cake!

 

Speaking of classic red lip, I’ve gone through a few favorite red shades as of late, but I always return to my Dior red. Love this rich, warm shade of red because it never fails to make a statement!
