Black & White

The warm weather is making a very slow arrival this year.  Teasing us with the odd day of high temperature, mingled among mostly cooler days.  Today we reached 31 degrees so it seemed like an opportune time to try out some new summer pieces.

sleeveless jacket /vest : zara
sleeveless drape top : katies
classic pant : katies
animal print wedge heels ; corelli

All items are new with the exception of the shoes.  The Zara vest was purchased online and I am reasonably satisfied with it.  It has a sheer panel down each side and one across the back adding an interesting detail to what is essentially a very simple garment.  This purchase was inspired by Beverly over at Beverly Like Hills.  Hers has a lovely rounded hem line and I have loved each combination I have seen her wear it in.

White pants are something I have always steered clear of, but they are such a fresh and crisp look for the warm weather, and a nice alternative to black, that I am 'getting over' my aversion of wearing white 'bottoms' and giving it a go.  The sleeveless drape top features a faux cross over that seemingly 'rolls' up under the hem of the top.  I am seeing this everywhere at the moment, and am keen to snap up a few tops like this as I find them very flattering.  They are simple but the added interest of the drape is very appealing and easy to wear.

Accessories have been kept to a minimum, simple silver necklace, white watch and silver hoop earrings complete the look.

Trust you all have a wonderful week, thanks for dropping by.
