As hard as a try, I just can't stop my head for automatically picking black clothing and accessories. I just love dark clothing! This wishlist contains quite a few dark items inlcuding the Apiece Apart Michel Tee that I really 'need'. The shirt is described as a "slightly cropped, boxy top in a mid-weight Spanish weave" which sounds ideal for this season. Although cropped tops are not as popular at this time of year, there's no reason why shorter shirts can't still be worn with some high waisted jeans or a skirt. Shorter tops are also great for wearing over dresses, because they don't consume the shape of the dress but still add a layer. To go with this top I chose the D&G Slimmy Black Jeans that I found on Polyvore. I don't think you can go wrong with black jeans as black pairs with every colour there is. I've also found that darker denim is really easy to style and dress up or down. You can get away with wearing them to quite a formal occasion. The same can be said for the Coltrane shoes by Jeffrey Campbell and the Zippered Faux Leather Backpack from Forever 21. Unfortunately both these items are sold out but I couldn't help but add them to this week's wishlist. I tend to favour darker accessories as I find that accessories are the one items that can stop an outfit from working. By choosing colours rhat will work with multiple outfits, it's money-saving and efficient. To check out the rest of my wishlist, just click the set!

Monochrome Madness

23 July 2014

Gilstead, Bingley, West Yorkshire BD16, UK

Sometimes the hardest part about picking an all black outfit is finding all black pieces that are actually the same shade of black. If you wear all black outfits a lot, like me, then you'll know exactly what I'm talking about. Today I went with a monochrome outfit, because I love this slightly oversized black and white shirt that I bought in Next's recent sale. I chose it to try to break out of my all black habit, but I also like how the white is incorporated in the shirt, it's not just black with white buttons or collars. I personally think the monochrome look is timeless, effortless and faultless. You can never go wrong with it because it's two colours that always correspond well with each other. My leggings are a little shiny, but I chose them over plain black leggings because they can look green-ish or even brown on camera. These leggings are also a bit stretchier than normal high street leggings so they're much more comfortable. My all black Converse are my favourite pair because I can literally wear them with  anything. I first saw them on Tumblr, and knew I had to buy them immediately because they will never clash with any of my clothes. They can also become a really simple statement piece if I contrast them with a super colourful outfit.
