Springtime in Black & White


Fashion designers using black and white stand out from the saturation of pastels and brights on the runway this spring.

This particular, fabulous look (left) from Cynthia Steffe, as seen on Style.com, is laid-back class. Certain occasions during the spring and summer months may call for a more dressed - up approach. This style takes it to the same level as a simple cocktail dress. Plus, this look is for women who want their clothing to go a little further than a one-event appearance. The bustier can be worn again with jeans or shorts, and the satin pants can be paired with a button - down shirt for office attire.

Black and white is considered an easy, classic option year-round by Etsy (www.etsy.com) accessory designers. Here are some ideas from a few Etsians, that may inspire your own, personal twist:
