Color is the new black

Having a little black “go to” dress in your closet is a pre-requisite for women of ay age or stage in life. Breathing life into these staples can make such a difference in the longevity of their life cycle in your wardrobe. And, by “breathing life”, I mean having fun with accessories and finding new ways to showcase your look.

This black Carolina Herrera dress has an indigo colored trim surrounding a V-neck fitted torso that darts and flares out at the waistline. You can also see that the darts beneath the waist have indigo trim as well. I paired the dress with my favorite Carolina Herrera black suede over the knee sandals and a Luisa Spagnolli belt with distressed gold buckle.

For a bit of splash, I tied my multi-colored elephant bag by Loewe (similar: Here) to a leather strap and am wearing it as a necklace.

My other accessories include my Citizens US Open Watch, a Louis Vuitton key charm which is worn as a bracelet, and Daisy ring by Tiffany Co. Schlumberger (Similar: here)

How do you brighten up your looks with color?
