I think I have figured out the boyfriend's tripod. Not that it's rocket science or anything, but as a product of Myspace/Facebook, I am more accustomed to turning my camera around and just snapping quick pics of myself that way. Frankly, I like close-ups better than distance shots, but I digress. I am not a model, nor am I inclined to posing for a camera. A smile on my face and that's all I can do! I just wanted to show you how I plan on wearing black this Summer, while still being light and breezy. If you have any styling suggestions, let me know! But this is what I came up with while raiding my (tiny) closet.

Black cardi: Express last year
 Petal tank top: Old Navy
Black shorts: H&M. Very flattering, and I saw a ton so go look!
Black peep toe pumps: BP Nordstrom about two years ago
Tan Jessica Simpson clutch: Tj-maxx
Skinny belt: H&M
Cuff bracelet: Nordstrom



LOVE THIS ROMPER!
Romper: BP Nordstrom, just purchased. It's not even on the website yet! If I find more colors, I am getting one more.
Patent belt (not really showing up for some reason): Taken from an old dress
Cuff: Nordstrom
Purse: H&M
Nude pumps: DSW
House of Harlow necklace: Shopbop.com
Ring: Claires



Black dress: Express
Shoes: Boutique
House of Harlow necklace: magnums.net
Ponytail: Mine ;)

Have a great weekend!

  1. Cute! You definitely look pretty and breezy! You could always add some white/creme colored jewelry (like drop earrings or a bold necklace), or a jewel tone belt to add a little pop of color. But you work the black ensembles well, gal!! :)

  8. Justine: Thank you for the suggestions! I was thinking that a pop of color was needed, and I have some pretty jewelry that will be perfect.
    Lynn: Lol, good! I hope you find it, there were tons at the Nordstrom I go to. I only saw black, but I am hoping more colorful ones are on the way!
    April: Thanks!
    Andi: Aww you are so sweet Andi. Thank you! I say the same things about you!
    Vanessa: Yes, I saved up and got two necklaces ;) It was worth it, I am very pleased with both.
    Emily: Oh goodness, I personally hate my posing but thank you just the same!
    Mikaela: Thank you, I love neutrals! It is color that I need some help with sometimes. But I think I'm getting better.

  12. I love the first look! and the romper looks great on you.

    I'd add a pop of color- maybe a necklace, or fun shoes or a colorful belt to the last one though

  13. OMG! Ok you may not be a model but you look gorgeous!

    Not only that but I NEED that romper. Do you still have the style number??? or anything that can help me track it down? adorable!

    I wear black in summer too!

  14. Crystal: Thank you girly :)
    Becky: I know, I will always gravitate towards black.
    Kimber Doll: A tripod helps so much! I just wish my house was a little nicer. It's kind of boring standing in front of a blank wall!
    Natalie: I consider you the queen of color and pattern, so I will take your advice! I have a cute pair of purple suede peep toes that would work.

  16. You look fabulous in all of these different looks! You pull off the romper really well too, I have been kind of scared to try this trend, I know Blake Lively has worn them millions of times and always looks so good! Love the House of Harlow necklace in your last look, I have the small gold key necklace and adore it!

    Kinsey: Isn't the necklace so adorable? It goes with literally everything! And I love that you can wear it right around your neck or a little bit further down.
    Jodi: Thank you, I have never ever wanted a romper. Then I decided to try this one on a whim and fell in love ;)
    Cynthia: You are so sweet, thank you.
