BLACK AND WHITE IS A CLASSIC COMBINATION THAT YOU CAN’T GO WRONG WITH
I tend to wear things in spurts. It might be cashmere that I am loving, and you will see me wearing several outfits with cashmere, all in a short span of time. Sometimes you will see me wearing distressed jeans, which seems to be all that I will wear. Often, I am hooked on a certain color, and everything that I order ends up being that color. Can you guess what I am hooked on right now?
If you guessed that I am hooked on dresses, then you would be correct. I think that 2020 robbed me of wearing dresses, and I am overcompensating for that now. It seems like I’ve been wearing a lot of dresses lately, and I still have a couple of them left to show you. At least Spring is a great time for dresses, so maybe you are in a mood for them too.
Black and white is a combination that I am drawn to, which is crazy since I also love wearing lots of colors. I think that I love this combination, besides the fact that it is a classic style, because of the vividness of the combo. The white is so crisp against the black background, and I love that look.
How many of you guessed that this is a bit and bridle print? If I have any horse lovers, then I know that you easily guessed this print. When I see this print, I always think of Ralph Lauren because he does many equestrian-style clothing.
The shirt dress is a classic style, and this one has gotten a modern update. The contrasting cuffs and collar add visual interest, and I love the effect. The dress comes with a matching fabric belt that can be removed, and I would probably add a solid-colored belt instead. I am wearing a size 1 in this dress, and it fits great.
This cut-out front zip jacket is so pretty. The cut-out design is dainty and looks like an eyelet design. This jacket is part of the Travelers Collection, and you know what that means…No Wrinkles! I think that this jacket is a feminine version of a moto jacket. The material is polyester, and it has the look of leather.
Because of the design of the dress, you might not have noticed my gorgeous necklace. This black and white necklace is 58″ long, which will allow it to be doubled or even tripled to create different looks.
The photos don’t do this necklace justice! It is hard even to explain how pretty this necklace is. The white opaque stones have swirls in them, and I think they are beautiful.
The dress is flowy and stretchy, and very comfortable. I chose to wear my white and beige Rockport heels with this dress because they don’t compete with the print. I could have worn black, white, or even a pop of color pair of shoes, but I let the dress be the star of the show instead.
I hope that you are liking all of the dresses and aren’t getting tired of seeing them. Maybe I can find something else to show you tomorrow. Lol!

I am addicted to your daily emails. Just signed up a few weeks ago. My question is I bought some animal print pants at Target on an impulse and need ideas for a top to wear with them. I have black Rothy’s…..thought about a denim button down? Maybe red sweater? Want something other than a black top, which would go well too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I love both of those suggestions. I have always loved pairing bright colors with animal print, and some of my favorite combinations are with hot pink or cobalt blue.
Black and white is one of my favorite combos. I love dresses so I’ve really enjoyed the posts.
Love this black and white combo on you. My season of colors is Spring. So for me I would never wear black and white by choice. They do nothing for me. Pretty shoes.
That outfit is sooo cute. I really love the jacket. I prefer dresses myself. I wear a lot of Jeans outfits during the week but on Sunday it is always a dress.
My granddaughter would love the dress as she is an equestrian and just bought and moved into a farm and equestrian training center in Suffolk Virginia.
Love the dresses. Keep them coming!
Love the dress…it looks so nice on you…
Lovely, as usual.
Love the black and white. Great outfit!
That dress looks great on you! Yes to black and white! One of my favorite combos.
Love the classic black and white. Cute twist with the horse lovers.
Love love love this dress on you. Idk I like the neutral shoes, not sure if I would add colour??. The jacket is cute too.
Love the shoes! And I am an equestrian so love the dress too!
Loving the dress and the jacket! It looks like a Ralph Lauren piece and the jacket is pure bad*s*!!! The shoes, love ‘em.
Love that spring is here and dresses are coming out. The dress looks good on you but I’m not much for a pattern on a dress. Thinking your red or pink shoes would have really popped this outfit also. Would love to see more dresses for running out the door to those girlfriend lunch dates.
I love black and white combos too, I never get tired of the look! Great dress; and I love the shoes!
I love dresses. So easy to get dressed. No worrying about are you tucked in or not. I too love those shoes.
I love the shoes! I have no where to wear them, but I love them!
I love wearing dresses and it’s time to get back to it! Thanks for the dress ideas!
I am not much of a dress wearer and though once again you look great in it, I don’t love the print. It’s too busy for me and the belt does nothing for the shape of the dress so I wonder why they included it. Love the shoes.
Absolutely love the jacket. Such a neat style. I keep forgetting that Rockport makes wonderful women’s dress shoes. Thank you for showing us so many different styles…Best, Julia
I love the black and white combo as so much of my wardrobe centers on this pairing. I am in love with dresses as they are the perfect option for me instead of shorts. One and done! I agree that 2020 kept my dresses on their hangers! I hope to get more wear of them this spring and summer but right now the weather on the great lakes is very cold with possible snow coming! Would have added pink as an accent color in the accessories as a nod to spring. What do you think?
I very rarely wear dresses but enjoy seeing the ones you feature as a reference for when the occasion arises to need one.
I miss dresses too! This one looks fabulous on you!
I love the dress. I would wear different shoes.
I think that red would be fabulous with this dress.
Love dresses especially for church on Sunday. Black and white is one of my favorites.
I think this dress would be great for church.
I love all the dresses! That’s the one item I am missing in my closet because they are so hard to find. Thank you for showing them.
There seem to be so many beautiful dresses in the stores right now.
Those shoes are simply beautiful! I never would have thought to wear a neutral shoe with a black dress, but those shoes look great with that black dress. The shoes work with slacks and with dresses. Thanks for sharing the dresses with us. It is nice to think of normal life!
That is the great thing about neutral shoes, Ann. They go with anything, and they don’t draw too much attention.
Like the dress with the jacket. I am in awe of you being able to walk in those heels – I would be face planting into the ground.
Lol! I love wearing heels. It feels strange to me NOT to wear heels.
I don’t tire of you showing dresses. Once it warms up more, I love wearing them as my casual outfit. Black washes me out so wouldn’t be able to wear this particular one but it’s still cute.
I like wearing dresses when it is warmer also.
I love all the dresses! Keep them coming! Such a refreshing change from everything else that’s being offered right now!
Yay! I am glad that you are enjoying the dresses. I am ready to start showing my whiter than white legs. Lol!
I love the shoes-I admire them every time you wear them. I have signed up for the sales alert. My fashion tip was always black and white with a touch of red, back in the day. Still have a crush on black and white.
I love adding red to black and white also. It is one of my favorite ways to add a pop of color.
Hi Tania. You had me at black & white…my favourite combo. The dress looks great on it’s own but the jacket takes it to another level! Glad you pointed out the necklace because it is very subtle when worn with the dress. I can see that it would be a perfect accessory for many outfits and versatile with being able to adjust the length. Looking forward to seeing more dresses!
Janice, black and white is a fabulous combo, and most people can wear it easily.
Love the dress! Looks great on you! Love the equestrian pattern!
It is a beautiful dress and print.
Love the black & white combo. The jacket & shoes are my favorite. You were so right about the shoes. Looking forward to see the next outfit that Joe picked out
I love those shoes too! They look great with everything!
