There is something simply perfect about monochromatic outfits. Perhaps it's my inherent New Yorker or maybe its just that there is something so classic about black and white, but sometimes it is just the perfect look.

Now it is well known that I adore bright colors, especially blues and pinks, but sometimes its nice to go truly simple and allow the structure of a piece to make the statement or to use colorful pops of jewelry or amazing shoes to do the color statement for you. It's important that if you do black and white to make sure your shapes and fit are perfect to make that powerful and impactful statement.
