Today I am participating in another challenge (gotta keep it fun, right?) This one is by a blog called “Everybody, Everywear” and they come up with a style idea and ask people to link up- today’s theme being dress in black and white.
It’s fun because it’s a great way to see a ton of really cool ideas- all in one place!
I actually love black and white- no surprise there, huh? And luckily, I just bought this adorable black and white checked blouse at J Crew.
I had a lot of fun seeing what I could style it with- and came up with a few options.
My first may seem eerily familiar, probably because I wore something similar (here) last week! I’ve paired my dark skinny jeans with this blouse and then threw on a black cashmere v neck sweater. To keep it true to ‘everyday’ style, I’ve got on black ballet flats.

My next look is also good for everyday- this time I tried a long black cardigan- but switched things up a bit by adding a red necklace and red ballet flats. Love that little pop of color!

Last, I decided to try it with a jacket and a scarf. Sometimes I’ll be running errands all day- and will never even take my coat off- so it’s fun to have a cute jacket that is stylish as well as functional. This one is a raincoat- perfect for Seattle- and I got it at JC Penny- seriously! Not sure why I was even in JC Penny! LOL!

Jeans: Anthropologie, Shirt: J Crew, Sweater: Ann Taylor, Cardigan: Boutique in Vancouver, BC, Jacket: JC Penny, Scarf: Gift, Shoes: Top- Tory Burch, Middle: Target, Bottom: Cole Haan
Love the look with the sweater pulled over the button down! I’ve been all about that combo these days!
Very beautiful. I like the stripe and cashmere sweater. Great dress!
Black & White
Love all the looks! It would be fun to see the v-neck with the red necklace on top. Great pop of color!! And you know how I love color. 🙂
Great suggestion, a little red would break up the solid black! Thanks for the idea. I miss you… Hope you had a great holiday!
Love the looks and I love the EBEW challenge! Hmmm, I might just have to participate.
I absolutely love the layers you have going on here. So cute!

Thanks for showing off your style on Monday Mingle! Love the pink scarf worked in!
The shirt peeking out beneath the sweater is the best style for me. It’s simple yet chic. 🙂
