I love wearing a column of color because it is a classic style. When you dress in a column of color, you look taller and thinner, but you want to make sure that you don’t look boring. One of the easiest and best ways to add some pizzaz to a monochromatic look is colors and patterns.

Even though I am known for wearing bright colors, I also love wearing black. Black can be elegant and sophisticated, or it can be somber and depressing. So, a head-to-toe black outfit needs to have something to give it some pizzaz. This cheetah print cardigan from Kohl’s is just the ticket to elevate this outfit to the next level.

This open-front cardigan serves several purposes. It adds style to the look, but it also adds warmth for those chilly fall mornings. Plus, a cardigan is an item that I use all of the time to hide that pesky muffin top that no one needs to see. This cardigan is exceptionally soft and cozy and runs true to size. I am wearing a medium, and I think that it fits and looks great.

I bet all of you have a closet full of jeans, but do you own any black jeans? Black denim is fun and dramatic, and it gives flair to your wardrobe. One of my favorite ways to style black jeans is with a simple white tee shirt. I think that look is casual and elegant looking at the same time.

The jeans that I am wearing today are the bootcut style. This cut of jean is universally flattering since it helps to balance out your shoulders and hips. Plus, in the fall and winter, this style of jeans allows you to wear your boots without worrying about how to tuck your jeans inside them. These jeans run true to size, and I am wearing my usual size 10.

I’m betting that this black ruched satchel handbag caught your eye. So many times, we neglect the “texture” aspect of our outfits. But, adding texture to your look takes it to a whole different level. This is a great size bag, not too big and not too small. I also love the handle “belted” details and the logo plaque. Here are more handbags with textures that are so pretty!

These black ankle booties also have a subtle textured detail with the whipstitched shiny trim. I think this ankle bootie style will look great with dresses this fall, especially with a pair of tights. The boots feature a back zipper that makes them easy to put on, and the traction sole gives you extra stability. These boots run true to size; I am wearing my usual size 9.

I forgot to mention my black v-neck tee and multi-chain necklace. The tee is super soft, and the material is stretchy but not clingy. I love the v-neck since it helps to elongate my neck, and I find it a flattering neckline for most people. This tee comes in many different colors and patterns, so you will surely find something that you like.

The multi-chain necklace has multifaceted black and clear faux crystals that have a lot of shine. I love how this necklace drapes, and it is one that you can wear with a lot of different styles.

  1. You look stunning!!! I love the entire outfit! Off I go to Kohl’s (online anyway) to order the v-neck t and maybe even the sweater.

  2. You always look so beautiful Tania! I love the contrast in color between the blue in your outfit and grey in the sweater. LOVE!!

  3. I really like this idea and these are great pieces. The jeans look long – did you order the regular length or the tall length. Also, what size tee shirt did you order?Thank you for explaining the scripture verse. I have asked that before too. I look forward to that wonderful encouragement each day.

    1. I thought that they were the regular length, but I might have been mistaken.

  4. I just bought a new pair of dark black Sonoma jeans at Kohl’s (who doesn’t love coupons and Kohl’s cash?) 🙂 . I tried on 5 different brands/styles and the Sonoma fit best. I will go back and look for that cardigan!

    i just ordered 2 of the sweaters and the black jeans from Kohls. I hope they look as good as me as they do on you.

    1. I’m sure that they will, Pam!!!

    What a fabulous outfit that you look great in, Tania! If the black jeans I ordered from Nordstrom don’t work for me, I will give this Nine West pair a try. I really appreciate you sharing so many things from Kohl’s! I hope that your foot is feeling better!

    Thanks!!!

    1. Shannon, that makes me happy to hear you say that. Looking your best and staying fashionable shouldn’t be an age thing!!!

  8. Classy & classic…love it!

  9. Very excited that I already purchased this tee and sweater. Great to see it styled by you with black jeans and boots. Thanks!

    1. This tee and sweater combo is one that you will wear a lot this fall and winter!

  10. Maribeth Conklin says:

    I love this outfit. I really like when you wear darker colors around your face. This whole outfit is a winner!

    1. I like darker colors around my face also. Some lighter colors can wash me out without something darker being added to the look.

  11. Missed the verse today.

    1. I know, Maizy. But, I never add my scripture to a sponsored post. However, if you follow me on Instagram, you will see a daily post from me in my stories.
