Ever since I was a teenage girl I have loved black clothing. Maybe deep down I always knew I was destined to work behind the scenes in fashion and PR, but I really think its just because black is a great color! Not only is it slimming, it is timelessly tasteful so long as its done right! As a Stylist, I am often asked by peers how to spice up an all black wardrobe, and the secret is layers and texture! Not all black clothing has the same color tone so layer and adding texture helps blur the lines a bit.

I paired two different black sequined pieces together for this look but because they have different textures and mediums that they are made with they end up playing nicely together without looking too matchy match. Try pairing lacquered denim with a silk or even a knit black top, or a maxi dress with a black leather jacket. The combinations are pretty endless, especially if you add accessories like a beanie or statement necklace into the mix!

Stay Stylish,
