Little Black Boxes



Dress: Final Touch
Cardigan: Halogen
Tights: Hue
Shoes: Urban Outfitters

This outfit has a tidy, complete look to me, and I think it’s because of the three black, somewhat rectangular shapes at the top, center and bottom: my hair (okay, my hair is dark brown, but close enough), the waistband and the black saddle shoe sections. Does that sound ridiculous? Probably.

My dress is a few years old. I found it at Xi Clothing in Pasadena, which is a cheap little store over by Nordstrom Rack and Old Navy. I was drawn to the pattern on it, which is a sort of...tribal herringbone? I thought it was interesting. I added the olive green cardigan because I love green and gray together.
