When it comes to classic style, I never rely on the trends to determine my fashion choices. However, every now and then, a trend comes along that hits me right in my happy place! I found just that in the Fall 2015 trend, head-to-toe black. Now, here’s a trend that I can fully embrace with both arms and a kiss on the cheek!

Some of these styles from NY Fashion Week may be a little more avant garde than you are used to, but they all feature intricate details. When it comes to head-to-toe black, the beauty is in the details.

black head to toe

black head to toeI am a major fan of black, so this outfit put me right in my element. I also love to win prizes, so I decided it’s time to give my readers a little #giveaway action to get the Fall started off right.

There are a number of details that keep this outfit from becoming a sea of black. First, the top features a sheer overlay. This provides a textural dimension to the blouse.

I paired the blouse with a bow belt and black jewelry accessories; including a lovely Fossil Stainless Steel ring I just got for my birthday.

      Oh Ashley, how I miss sweaters and boots here in Asia! I love wearing cold weather clothes…thanks for stopping by!

  9. You look gorgeous in this all black. I enjoy wearing all black, even though “I’m warm autumn”
    However, sometimes I play with colors and put together a bit crazy combinations (purple and teal, orange and burgundy…) they go well with my hair though.

    • Shellie Bowdoin says:

      Hi Martina,

      I just popped over and looked at your blog. You have stunning red hair, so I definitely see why you would highlight it with those awesome colors. I hope you will link up that beautiful black and pink dress in the My Refined Style Linkup…Thank you so much for stopping by!

    The most fabulous thing about Fall is that there are so many things that are pumpkin spice flavored.

  11. Freda says:

    I love sweater season!!

  12. Jennifer says:

    I’m a big fan of black!! It looks terrific on you!! Excited for our linkup!

  13. I love the all black as well. So classic, edgy, and sophisticated. I recently styled an all black outfit with a gorgeous turquoise statement necklace (the only color I had on). I had been making a move away from black and realized I hadn’t even worn a stitch of black in most of my outfits, so I figured that now Fall is here, I could try out the all black again. And it felt fresh and new!

    I too am a big fan of black , love your take on black on black, the sheer sets it apart. You are so right about different textures and shapes making all black definately not boring.

    • Shellie Bowdoin says:

      Thanks Lorna, I have heard it said that black is technically not a color, but it happens to be one of my best!

    Love the all black, but with the sheer top. Definitely keeps it from being drab! Popping over from Claire’s.

    Have a great day!

    • Shellie Bowdoin says:

      Hi Mary, yes the details and variations in texture make a big difference when it comes to wearing all black. Thanks for stopping by!

  18. I think I love fall so much because I can pull out different clothes…especially my hand knitted sweaters!! jodie
