Fashion Friday: Spring Trend- Black & White

Usually we associate spring with flowers, sunshine, and bright colors. That is why this spring's timeless trend isn't as common around this time of year. It's chic, classic, edgy, and simple. It's black and white. This color combo was all over the spring/summer 2013 runways. It is also on all of the hottest fashion magazine covers. So today I'm showing you a few affordable pieces that will keep you on trend but can also be worn year after year.

TIPS:

 

-This trend can be rocked with pieces you may already have in your wardrobe. Do you have a black dress? Try pairing it with a white belt and shoes. You can even color block with a black shirt, white pants, and black shoes. You cant go wrong.

 

-If you want to update an accessory try adding a white scarf to black purse.

 

-If you're a bit more shy but still want to sport this trend try it on your nails. There are many black and white manicure options.

 

-Don't be afraid to experiment. The beauty of black and white is that you can make it as simple or complicated and still look good.

 

-Try adding a pop of color. My favorite thing to do is to add a bright lip color.
