Black and White to the Theater

You may remember this dress from a few weeks ago when I wore it here to work with a white long-sleeve tee underneath it. 

And you may be surprised that I'm wearing the same dress within such a short timeframe -- to me it's like a year -- but I just love it so much.

Like the top in yesterday's post, this too had to go in to the tailor to have the shoulders taken in a bit, which softened up the look. It was a too squared off and boxy, but now it's perfect thanks to Frank's Alterations in South Loop!

I can't wait to get creative with this dress when the snow starts falling and add fun layers under and over it!

With the black-and-white trend being so on point right now, I find it so much easier to get dressed! 

Black and white always seemed too safe for a color lover like myself, so it didn't really feel like I was trying very hard. But lately I've been loving how clean and simple the look is, not to mention super easy to wear on everyone. So go on, ladies, and wear the heck out of all those black-and-white looks while it's hot.

You may also notice I'm wearing two different pairs of shoes in this post. One was school-teacher wear, and then the heels were the dressed-up tougher version.
