Fall Fashion – Black and White • Tokes' Take on Style

Fall Fashion – Black and White

Hello beauties. How’s your week going?? Mine has been fast and furious but I am not complaining at all! I can’t believe it’s Thursday already and speaking of “I can’ts,” heard a Christmas jingle on TV so had to look up. Saw my very first Christmas-themed commercial!! LOL Loco! Anyhoo! I’m a huge fan of black and white outfits. While a black and white ensemble is always classic and timeless, there are different ways to liven it up for fall. Read on for fall fashion – black and white edition!

Start with the Details

I paired a white top with a sheath dress.
But it wasn’t just any ole white top! I opted for a white top with lace detailing.
The lace gives the top some oomph and immediately elevates the outfit.
You have other options! Think ruffles, bowtie tops, bell sleeves.
Those sorts of details can take what would normally be a simple “white top” to a different level.

Build on That…With Accessories

In addition to the lace top, I went with a layer of gold necklaces.
Gold jewelry, whether real or faux, puts a premium stamp on any ensemble.
Layering adds an interesting layer (PUN INTENDED) so think of necklaces you already have, that vary in length and get to layering, girl!

Finish with a Belt + Booties

I always say ANYONE can belt. Yes, anyone! Regardless of your size.
Belts add structure not to mention they help define and cinch that waist.
While I opted for a black belt, you can go bold with say, a metallic belt.
Complete the look with a nice pair of black booties and you’re done!
Black booties give your look an unexpected edge and are a great alternative to say, a pair of pumps.
