what's black & white and red all over?






These silk pants are a great alternative for anyone who has thought about harem pants but doesn't want to actually commit to them. Totally chic, and they don't give you that dreaded diaper-butt associated with harem pants. Success!

The top is actually a full length blouse and looks cute as is, but I tucked the bottom into my strapless bra because I'm like, so edgy.

These strappy sandals are beautiful and worked well for what I got them for (to match a midnight blue bridesmaid dress) but generally I would advise staying away from anything beaded; it's just too delicate. The beads were falling off of these after one night out in Chicago; I would expect way more from designer shoes.

Obviously a black clutch would work well with this but would be understated; I wanted something that really added some pop, hence the overly tacky Vegas purse.
