Sequins and Sea Breezes: Black + White Casual

Black + White Casual

4/05/2016


Happy Tuesday dolls! I hope everyone's week is off to a fantastic start! I decided to do a no unnecessary spending month during April so just as a warning, you might see some old pieces mixed with some new pieces in the next few weeks! I figured spring is a perfect time to do a no spending month since you get to go through your closet and break out some pieces you haven't worn in awhile! Ok, now onto the outfit. It's no secret I love black and white and I love stripes so this is a perfect outfit for me. 
I picked up this outfit during my last (and admittedly first...) Loft haul back in February. I picked up this top thinking it'd be cute for work but never realized at the time how much use I'd get out of it! It's incredibly flattering, the material is silky (in the front) making it feel dressy but not too dressy and the v-neck gives it just a slight touch of sexy without it being inappropriate for work. This is obviously a pretty basic look but I love how chic and classic a simple black and white look is. I topped off my outfit with my favorite jean jacket and some classic black flats. A few months ago I said I wanted to incorporate more timeless pieces into my wardrobe and these are exactly the types of pieces I was looking for. Things that can be transitioned into different months and even different years and still look great. I will definitely be scooping this tank up in other colors the second my no spend ban is lifted!

  3. I'm the same when it comes to a new season. I get excited to start wearing a whole other part of my wardrobe -- spring colours and lighter layers for spring! After a long winter, they almost feel like brand new clothes to me lol!

  37. Casual but you still look gorgeous. I'm also kind of in a spending-ban this month. My beauty products suddenly hit pan this month so I spent a few extra for those and have nothing left for clothes... Well... Need to save some for my savings account and bills. xD
