The Power of Black and White

It appears that nothing represents the Art Deco inspiration like graphic black and white.  When in doubt of what to wear, never fear.... black or white will make a statement.   However the innocence of white combined with the commanding attention of black, delivers a form of pure chic.  Regardless of whether it's a day or evening look, this combination is often all it takes to put the focus on you.

Another true test of black and white, is that it looks great with gold, silver, and any accessory color you choose.   Clean lines look cleaner, and the vibe is often classic, chic, and cool.  I always say, if you're in a hurry to dress quickly, to run an errand.... just throw on a pair of black slacks, and a perfect white tee.  If its winter, of course add a great coat, if it's warm, throw on a chic scarf or shawl and keep it moving! Instant chic!
