At this point, I think it’s fair to say that my propensity to wear black and white clothing is officially a chronic condition.  I could wear this combo all day every day and be happy as a dalmation having tea with a zebra.  This look featuring the Carolina Herrera dress of my DREAMZ was my outfit of choice for the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic here in New York a few weeks back, and I’ve been binging on black and white fashion ever since.  Today, I’m rounding up my favorite black and white pieces (like this dress that’s very similar to the CH version I’m wearing!) along with my top tips on how to style them below!

THE BEST BLACK AND WHITE PIECES AND HOW TO STYLE THEM

• Add these black and white earrings to even the simplest t-shirt and jeans and it’s a whole different ball game.  Never underestimate the power of accessories, y’all.
• The same styling rules apply to a chic black and white shoe.  My personal favorite might be these black and white leopard pumps because you can wear them year-round, but for summer, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a sandal cuter than these (check out the gingham option)!
• This black and white gingham dress remains one of my very favorites from the 30 Dresses in 30 Days series.  It’s a classic summer staple that you’ll wear for years and also looks amazing with a black waist belt and white button up layered underneath!
• When it comes to timeless wardrobe staples, you can’t beat this blazer.  Wear it to the office with white wide-leg pants and wear it on the weekends with your favorite denim shorts.
