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.

    This green color looks wonderful on your skin! And I agree, the pattern on your dress is neat.

    This is so gorgeous, I love the print on the skirt! It looks awesome with the cardigan and saddle shoes. I love clothes that just "draw" you to them!

    Oh, I like this dress! I didn't even notice the pattern until you did the close up, I thought it was a ticked grey!

    I find your style so elegant and inspiring. You always look effortless, and your hair and makeup are perfection. (Plus, you're making me want a pair of saddle shoes!)
