Mixing B & W Patterns

Summer sales are everywhere friends!  So run out and get your shopping on!

Found this black n’ white tiki crop top at Reitmans on sale + 50% off the sale price…so it was basically free!
Staying in the same color family is the easiest way to mix patterns in your outfits.  You can use contrasting colors, as long as the prints have a color in common.

Mixing black n’ white is the easiest I think!

I added pops of colour with my accessories instead:  with my yellow earrings & necklace set and with my aqua-teal purse and sandals. 

Contrary to O’Magazine’s “advice” (insert eyeroll emoji here) … me and my plus sized non-flat belly having self decided to rock this tiki top is a crop top, pairing it with a horizontal stripped maxi skirt…displaying a visible belly outline.

Oh yeah.  I’m breaking all kinds of mainstream fashion ‘rules’ with this outfit of the day friends  But I think I look fierce! 🙂After several weeks of enjoying my new angled bob haircut, it was getting kinda shaggy and loosing its shape.

So that evening, I chopped it off again!!!

Tah-dah!!! The short angled bob is here for say for a little while longer 🙂

And then decided to check out the fab 3D Toronto sign that’s been set up at City Hall for the PanAm Games….for some photo ops.  Finally!

How I Got The Look:

You really can’t go wrong when you rock a classic like black n’ white together.  This is the first crop top I’ve ever been brave enough to wear.  Waddya think?

I actually wore this exact look for New Year’s Eve this past year…minus the open-toed booties.  Swapped them for black stockings and my rocker boots instead, to better suit winter weather.
