black & white & RAD all over!!

i just noticed the other day that i have been wearing a lot of
black & white lately. i found a few pics and added them here to show you a small sampling of my b&w phase, but i have worn it many other times lately without pic proof! ; )

i decided that it's such a RAD combo that you can totally not go wrong with!! i enjoy the boldness of it and feel that it makes such a statement alone, plus adding in an accent color to any given b&w ensemble allows it to have the same bold effect & just takes it up a notch! my fave colors to pair with b&w are red, pink & green as i feel they meet the contrast in the middle without being too overpowering.

i love stripes, checks and polka dots and think they all look fantastic in the richness of bold black & white. the simplicity yet graphic nature of such prints in b&w really allow you to look put together yet have more of your essence shine through because your outfit isn't wearing you- you are wearing it!! ; )

what color combo do you seem to favor as of late?! do tell, cupcakes!! XOXO
