All-Black Outfit

Today I’m wearing another fabulous all-black outfit and hosting another fabulous My Refined Style Fashion Over 40 Linkup!

All-Black Outfit

All-Black Outfit

I’m a big fan of the phrase, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” It so happens that all-black works well for me, so I wear it often. BUT…that doesn’t mean I don’t like to switch up the black palette with pops of vibrant color.

All-Black Outfit

Again, the beauty of the all-black outfit is in the details. I love the soft pleats and satin detailing of this delicate blouse I picked up in a tag sale.

All-Black Outfit

This all-black outfit provides the perfect backdrop to showcase this fabulous Thai hill tribe bag. The vivid colors and pattern are a feast for the eye. So, the bag really holds it’s own when paired with these orange Sofft heels.

All-Black Outfit

Because the two primary accessories are drenched with color, I chose natural metal jewelry pieces to finish off the outfit.

So all-black is my favorite, but what about you? Is there another color you enjoy wearing head to toe?

    This top is so beautiful! I truly enjoyed seeing the gorgeous rich colors of your accessories with your all black look, and your gold necklace is a knock-out.

    Thanks for linking up with Fabulous Friday! Hope to see you back next week.

    I wear a lot of black, but I need to jazz it up better. Love your shoes and bag! Great look and that blouse is so feminine & gorgeous!

    I’m just the opposite, Shellie—I rarely wear all black, but if I were going to, I’d definitely use it as a backdrop for such fun shoes & bag!!
    Thanks for hosting!!

    I have no idea if my first comment went through because my computer went all crazy when I hit the post comment button…so in case it didn’t…I love your blouse! It is so interesting and unique. And all black is always so cool, and chic, and elegant, and edgy (I always like a little edge). The pops of orange are fantastic and I am absolutely swooning over your shoes and bag! Gorgeous outfit!
