Black and White

By -
On a recent trip the mall, I noticed every store had stocked large amounts of black and white graphic clothing. Each store was pushing a different color as the color of the season (neon yellow was the clear favorite), but they each had faux two-piece dresses or grid skirts. Times are tough, and it's not easy to experiment with color on a tight budget. The black and white picks below should see you into brighter times and beyond without falling out of fashion's favor.

What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion.
