Black and white is such a classic and easy go to for any outfit.
In the photos above you can see I have chosen black jeans, a black and white blouse and black boots. Here’s the difference: in the after picture I chose a little more fitted blouse- and I did the famous half tuck, defining my waist. I added a belt, rolled up my sleeves and added a necklace.
One thing I love about this blouse is it has really cute detail along the shoulders (see the picture below, it’s too hard to tell above). I also rolled up the hem of my jeans revealing my ankles- and switched out my boots for a lower profile bootie. This really changes the look. To be honest, I don’t hate the before picture- I actually think this blouse is cute, but I wanted to give you a contrast so you can see the difference. Plus, plaid is really on trend right now!
*I apologize for the grainy photo above, for some reason the bigger the photo, the more grainy it gets. I have no idea how to correct that (or how to resize the photo). I am definitely in need of advice, if you have a suggestion- please send it my way! Thank you! 🙂

Hi there, I just wanted to reach out in the comments as I couldn’t find your contact information anywhere on your blog. If you’re open to collabs I’d love to hear from you. I would be awesome if you could get in touch with me directly on emily@blogerize.com and then I could tell you a little more about what I had in mind. Thanks! 🙂
Thank you Emily! I added my email address to my About Me page! I’d love to hear more about what you’re thinking.
