Wore Collaboration: All Black

I am so excited about today’s post, because the lovely and oh so pretty Jessica from Love & Loyally is joining me today for this What I Wore post. So we get to peek into her closet and see her fab outfit choices as well.

Pursuit of Pink / Love & Loyally

Jessica and I decided to showcase a color (or some might say a lack of color) that we both have a lot of in our closets – BLACK. You could totally call 2013 my black year because I have worn a lot of it. I rocked black like crazy while I was pregnant to try and minimize the look of my expanding body and I’m still wearing black while I shrink my body back down. Besides providing a slimming look, black is just so chic and timeless. So it’s the perfect color to work with for multiple occasions.

When we selected the color black, I told Jessica “let’s put together an all black outfit that doesn’t look like we are going to a funeral” and funnily enough we both added some leather to our ensembles. Because surely leather is not worn to a funeral. J I love how Jessica sassed up her look by adding polka dots and sequins and then grabbing a hot pink clutch. I am seriously pinning her images now because I want to recreate the look. I added some pearls and bronze shoes to my outfit to add a little pop. The secret to not looking like you are going to a funeral is all in how you accessorize. And everyone knows how I feel about accessories.

My outfit details:

Skirt: Target!!!

T-shirt: H&M.

Cardigan: Zara.

Shoes: Burlington Coat Factory (old).

Pearls: My Grandma's.

Jessica's outfit details: 

Jacket and Blouse: The Limited.

Sequin Top and Pants: J. Crew.

Shoes: Michael Kors.

Clutch: Gap.
