Give Me Black, Give Me Brown
all-black outfits are forever chic. but occasionally, i do like to throw some unexpected colors into the mix. in this case, the equally classic brown.
i’m wearing my favorite lace top. i got it years ago at a random whim, not realizing it would be one of those things i go back to over and over again.
i paired it with a leopard-print scarf that i luuurve, and the bun was for extra chic-ness.
sorry for the varied photo qualities, we used two cameras: a point & shoot and a dslr!

you look extra fab and elegant in that bun!! some people find black and brown to be an odd combination, but i have grown to be fond of it. i actually resort to it a lot of times during the cooler months of the year..

nice style bestie! I tried pulling my hair into a bun but it didn't work out right. It doesn't go along with my super round face. can you suggest any hairstyles for me? I want to try other hairstyles. thanks!:)

Oh, those are separates! I totally thought it was a one piece ensamble!
I can't believe those pants are thrifted either. That sort of outfit really fits your frame. You look very put together 🙂 Power woman!
