OOTD: Classic Black and White

There’s something oh so Coco Chanel about the combination of black and white.  It’s an effortlessly chic color combination.  I often build my outfits around the classic black-and-white combination or the classic black-white-and-red combination.

One of the many beautiful elements of fashion during the era of Coco Chanel and Audrey Hepburn was structure – beautifully cut, structured dresses, suits, coats, and purses.  In this OOTD, I incorporated the element of structure into the handbag.  This is the Kate Spade Cameron Street Candace Satchel in black and white.

Keep it casual with a plain white tee, pair it with a pair of classic black pointy toe pumps, throw on a simple pair of teardrop-like black earrings to keep with the black and white theme, and voila!
