Simple in Black and White

Hey everyone! Today I am posting a simple outfit but I love it because you can wear this outfit basically anywhere and it is so comfortable for the summer. I love to wear the color black because it goes well with my pale skin so any chance I get to wear it I do. Today I chose a chiffon, spaghetti strap and black tank that has a cut out design down the front. This tank is incredibly light and does not overheat me during those unbearable summer days that reach to the nineties. I got this tank at a little boutique in Seattle when I went during a soccer tournament last year, but the brand of the shirt is Lush which is a well known brand sold at many stores such as Nordstrom. Additionally, I paired the tank with one of my favorite skirts I own. I bought this black and white horizontal maxi skirt at Nordstrom Rack for about $15. Nordstrom Rack is great because you can get the brands you want at a cheaper price! I love this skirt because its not too heavy and since I'm so petite, the horizontal stripes fill me out a little more but the tightness of the cut doesn't make it look like its eating my smaller frame whole. I used to be against maxi anything because I did not believe I could pull it off since I am short but I found you just have to find the right cut to make it work so to all the short girls, yes you can wear maxis too! Furthermore, I like that the white stripes break up the harshness of the black and give the outfit some contrast. I then wore my favorite black sandals from Nordstrom but are Lucky Brand so you can purchase them from either store. I wanted to add a little color so I accessorized the outfit with a simple turquoise necklace which I bought for $28 at a little boutique in St. Armands, FL called Sahara Clothing. I absolutely love turquoise jewelry so any time I see it at stores my eyes go immediately towards the jewelry rack and I'll buy the entire stand haha. I also wore my Forever 21 aztec earrings, the rings I always wear, my Alex & Ani bracelets and my Michael Kors watch. My hair was not really cooperating with me that day because of the humidity so I decided to pull it to a side braid and wear a black headband to hold it all together. I hope you enjoyed my post today!
