Black & White Stripes in Fall

If you asked me three years ago to style a casual outfit with black clothing I literally wouldn't have been able to do it. I didn't own any black clothing and my twenty year old self cannot understand why. For some reason, I thought bright pink was a more versatile and a smarter color to purchase than black. I'm sorry, seventeen year old Lucy, what were you thinking?

This summer just about the only colors I've been purchasing have been neutrals, with black leading the color-way pack. First, black is so slimming. It instantly slims anyone. It's also so versatile! You can take your favorite black items and transition from season to season. I know in Virginia, I can keep these black shorts in the forefront of my closet from May through October with this warm weather we have throughout the Fall.

In the beginning of the summer, I wore these shorts with my bone colored Palm Beach Sandals, a gold Lilly Pulitzer sandal, or my Birkenstocks. Now that the summer is slowly but surely cooling down, I'm swapping sandals for loafers. These cheetah loafers pair so well with my classic black and white striped top from NA-KD Fashion, it's a no brainer!
