Simplicity

Fashion week is coming up soon and I’m not looking forward to all the crazy colorful street style characters looking for attention. Right now, I’m inspired by a return to black and white simplicity (with a little grey thrown in as usual). That’s not to say I’m anti-color but I like it used as an accent instead of the main event. It just looks chic and we know how I like chic.
N.B. I’m off to pilates but will add all the credits when I return.

Heather I am with you, I wear a lot of grey, black, and winter white; then use color in the details; jewelry scarves, bags, T’s etc.

I had to read that twice just to make sure I read that you were NOT looking forward to the craziness. What a breath of fresh air you are lol! Thanks for keeping it real!
I’m a sucker for simplicity…well at least on other people.

Karen Albert said it well. I also like a simple palette best.
My new favorite old quote is from Leonardo da Vinci, “Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication”. That will be my mantra as I edit my closet.
Please more black and white. Thank you. Mary
Loving this!
Love the outfit pic. Can you post sources? Thanks!
i get more compliments on the days I wear a simple dress shirt, jeans and tie/blazer. everyone says “you looked dressed up”. I really want to say “no, its just a simple uncomplicated outfit”. 🙂 great post and great photos.
This is a great post. So inspiring. A true compilation of modern classics.
