The Chronicles of Color



                                                                           

                                                                        



                                                                          

What crosses your mind when you hear Black and White? Well I would say Black and White movies or the Audrey Hepburn poster in my room in her iconic Givenchy from Breakfast at Tiffany's. (I read on a blog that mentioning Audrey Hepburn or Coco Chanel by a style blogger is so cliché but whatever, honestly is the best I can given you). What crosses your mind when you see Black and White outfits? Well I would say outfits that are so effortlessly stylish and classic. The someone who phrased "opposites attract" was so very right (and wise). These two colors are the spectrum extremes, yet each time you pair them together they look so elegant, crisp and strong. Its that instance when your outfit speaks for you.
More than often, I have ended up pairing Black and White as my to.fall.back.upon resorts. These are the dependable ones.


                                                                           

                                                                          



This skirt sadly hasn't got many chances to be adorned. I was always skeptical about it, considering it was stripped which made it a little difficult to be paired with just any blouse - something which I believe is the 'utility' aspect of a skirt. With this outfit, I wanted to keep the color palette basic and mix two abstract prints together. The lesson I have learnt in amateur print mixing is to keep the color genre same/similar. This not only keeps the individuality of the piece intact but also is a safe bet for starters. But way wild is definitely on my cards.
Way before I started blogging, I had been accessorizing this blouse with turquoise accessories. With this post, I knew ITS TIME.
This post is also my entry for the InDIAN FASHION BLOGGERS - InFB Black and White remix challenge. It would be so exciting to see bloggers from around the world share their Black and White outfit ideas. Looking forward to this thriving learning experience :D
