B&W Chic

Houndstooth is, and will always be, one of my favorite patterns to wear. Ever. I love the simple sophistication that the pattern brings to an outfit. Hence, this pencil skirt that I am showcasing on the blog today is an all-time favorite simply because it requires little to no styling. In fact, I love this look that I have for you here because it speaks about the kind of style that I always strive for - simple elegance. 



I bought this black ballerina top from HerBench and decided to pair it with the skirt for a B&W look. A pair of statement earrings helped to break the monotony in the color. Meanwhile, the neutral heels added a touch of glam to the outfit. 

Are you also into houndstooth print?
