We took these photos last week after a sunset, isn't the purple sky gorgeous? I've had all of these pieces for quite a while but decided I'd throw them all together as black & white and patterns are such a huge trend right now - I love that print mixing is so huge right now, it's fun when fashion 'rules' are changed or broken.
A mostly black outfit also seemed a fitting thing to post, as I'm heading to New York today. I'm attending the IFB Conference (are any of you going?) and will be there for fashion week as well! Follow me on instagram (@whitneycosgrave) for lots of pictures and updates from NYC : )
I'm wearing a Perfect Shirt by Gap, love sleeve tee from Madewell, YSL purse (this one is similar and on major sale), Jimmy Choo pumps, a vintage necklace and a bow belt that was a gift from a friend. My skirt is Rag & Bone, but here and here are similar looks, both under $40.
PS - Thank you so much to everyone who entered my Jack Rogers giveaway! Thanks to random.org the winner is Carly from Chicago Prepster.
Perfect bag and shirt! You look so sophisticated and feminine :)
