ying the yang: black & whites

via ohlepetit

There is nothing more classic and chic than good ol' black & white. Black & white movies, black & white photos, black & white clothing....you simply can't go wrong. Anything done in black and white is simple, refined, and always essential.
I'm a pretty habitual dresser myself, and guilty of keeping along the black,white,grey wardrobe staples. Anything with a stripe and stays within that color family is my safe place. Hey, what can I say, I know what works for me. (or maybe I'm thrown off by color!)
