Back in Black


Tank: Michael Michael Kors, Skirt: Forever 21, Wedges: Steve Madden "Winka", Blazer: Silence and Noise at Urban Outfitters, Handbag: vintage (thrifted), Necklace: Urban Outfitters, Watch: Citizen.

I recently realized with the exception of this post, I have primarily been wearing outfits that are based on bright colours and/or prints. I don't know if this is just because it is summer or if I had just never realized that I have an aversion to muted tones and solid colours. Not that there is anything wrong with patterns or colours, but I decided to mix it up a bit and try to put together an outfit that revolves around (not so basic) black.

I had just received these wedges the morning I took these pictures, and I am completely in love with them. I ordered them from Hautelook during their Steve Madden sale a couple of weeks ago, and they satisfied my craving for these wedges at a considerably lower price tag.

On another note, I took these photos last week so I had an extra post ready for today. The reason is that I just had knee surgery at the end of last week and knew that I wouldn't be well enough to take outfit photos for at least a couple of days. My recovery is going really well and I think I will be able to put on something other than pyjamas and take some outfit photos in a day or two!
