BLACK ON BLACK STYLE
Gurls, I am going on the road again. This time, I am going to be going to San Francisco California, and I have never been there before. I had a lot of friends on FaceBook leave me some “must do” things to do since I will only be there for a few days. I have never been one to travel before; I figured that it was expensive and I could “see” all of the sights on the internet. Plus, the biggest obstacle for me when it comes to traveling has been my fear of flying. I have let an unreasonable fear keep me for going and enjoying different cities and places. I would choose to spend 12 hours in a car driving to Florida instead of hopping on a plane that can get me there in about 1.5 hours. (Insert shaking head here.)
This trip isn’t costing me much since I am being flown out there, put up in a lovely hotel, treated to a wonderful reception with heavy appetizers and drinks, a tour of the R+F headquarters, and some training by some of their staff. Wow! Someone needs to drive to my house and pinch me because I am still in a daze. I decided to stay an extra day so that I could do some sightseeing so this coming Saturday I will be jamming as much into my day as I possibly can. I can’t wait to share my adventure with all of you, and if it is half as nice as I have heard, I will probably be making another trip with Joe later. Be sure to shout out your favorite thing to do there since I can only choose a couple of activities.
I love the texture and the zig-zag pattern of this sweater. This is by a fairly new brand called 1.State that was only launched in 2014. They try to bring clean architectural details to a feminine, modern look. I like what they have created, and I have another sweater from them that I will be showing you tomorrow. This fits true to size, and it is hand washable. It features a drop sleeve look and a crew neck which almost looks like a turtleneck on me. This sweater is very cozy, and it will become one of your favorites fast. Here is the link for women’s regular, and here is the link for women’s plus.
I know that these red pumps were the first thing that you noticed in this picture. I am falling in love with this shoe designer even though I originally only bought his purses. The brand is Michael Kors, and I now have four or five pairs of his shoes, and everyone is so easy to wear. I took advantage of the Half Yearly sale from Nordstrom and bought this pair and another pair that will be a pair that I will wear in the spring and summer. Here are a few that I think are very similar. Believe me when I say that a pair of red pumps will change your outlook.
I don’t have a clue what has me so tickled. My daughter was playing photographer today for me, so I am sure that she was making fun of me in some way. I thought that adding my wide leg black pants that I bought at Cato Fashions would keep this outfit looking dressy and classic. I don’t wear black a lot, but I do like the effect that you get from wearing black on black. I was trying to think the other day what one word would describe my style. The best that I could come up with was “colorful”, and then here I am wearing strictly black and white. I am glad that I decided to add the bright red pop of color so that I could still be considered colorful. What one word would you use to describe your style? Do not use pitiful, clueless, drab, or sad. You are reading my blog, so I would like to think that I have helped you change so that those words don’t apply. Lol!

I would say my style would be “fun”! That is a very classy beautiful style and the red earrings and heels just make the outfit! I am in love w that creek behind you! Is that on your property? If so, OH MY! I can’t wait to hear about your trip to San Francisco! The Wharf is my only recommendation of something I wouldn’t miss! Oh yeah, and Golden Gate Bridge! And you will love the food!!
San Francisco is one of the most beautiful cities. The bus tour another person mentioned is a great idea. If you can, take a tour on Alcatraz also. Best views of the city from that island. And don’t forget to ride a cable car!!
My style is primarily casual elegance.Thanks to your inspiration, I have stepped up my accessory game and now have a large collection of fashion jewelry that is mostly necklaces and bracelets. My scarf collection has also been enlarged.
I see your style as appropriately and eye-catchingly eclectic. You are always appropriately dressed for the occasion, but your personal style comes shining through and your looks are memorable.
Thank you for this blog!
Lovely photos – black and white is always a glamorous combination adding the bold red turns the outfit to sassy.
Enjoy your tip and training – I am sure you will make the most of your extra day and I look forward to the photos and reading all about it. Safe journey – Jill x
Love your blog Tania, and your style. Definitely take the hop on hop off bus tour. The tour guides are usually very good. You will see and learn alot. I would suggest you go in morning, you can have lunch at Fisherman’s warf and then continue on and get off at any of the attractions that interest you. If you can a trolley ride is cool as well. Alcatraz is another good tour but it may take too long and you may be too late for tickets. Don’t worry about the flight. Bring a good book and just try and relax.
Safe is the only word I can come up with for my style. I do go blingy with shoes. Have a wonderful time.
You look amazing! The red just pops!
Love the outfit and the red shoes! Have fun on your trip and safe travels!
San Francisco is my favorite city. I love to stand at the top of the crookiest street and enjoy the view of the bay. It is unbelievably beautiful. I took a bus tour in order to see the highlights of the city then come back with Joe and spend more time. It is a wonderful city. My style is comfortable. My basic colors that I wear are black, grey and beige.
Love your whole outfit! The sweater is adorable and the pop of red is perfect! Enjoy your trip!
