Far from my expectation, today shaped up to be a sunny and beautiful day, the perfect end to a productive weekend.
This is a quick post to share with you what I'm wearing and a few tips on wearing an all black outfit. If you follow me on Instagram you're aware that I'm loving black lately, I don't know, I just find the color so very appealing nowadays.
I felt wearing black, head to toe, would be a bit of an overkill, so I chose to wear my pink ankle strap heels instead.
My poor necklaces, bracelets and earrings are collecting dust in the closet haha! I'm still very much into minimal/zero accessorizing.
We all know black is an instant classic, flattering, really chic, I believe it's one of the "chicest" colors after white, black is extremely versatile, I mean, child! You can never go wrong with black. Here are a few tips for looking as fabulous as you should while rocking the dark hue:-
Vest - River Island | Pants - Old | Shoes - here
Shout out to my friend Rashid for helping take these lovely pictures. Thanks a lot buddy!

1. Mix textures. The beauty of all-black? You can mix textures without fear of creating an overly busy ensemble.
2. Play with proportions. Keep things cool and playful by experimenting with cut outs and crop tops.
3. Lighten up the shoes. Think strappy, not bulky. Go for open toed over closed.
4. Add interest with accessories. Unlike me, you can go for a bold metallic cuff or statement necklace. Accessories are where you can really make an all black outfit stand out.
5. Black doesn't mean boring. Keep the outfit exciting with some sort of visual interest. Think cutout sandals or an asymmetrical hemline.
