What's Black and White (and a little red) All Over?

Black and white has been called a major trend over the last several seasons as many designers have featured this graphic color combination.  It's such a classic and obvious pairing though that it seems silly to call it a trend. 

That said, it is my favorite combo by far, so I have no shortage of black and white options in my closet.

Skirt:  The Limited (No longer available on-line; see here)
Blazer:  The Limited (old) (Similar here)
Squinting eyes:  c/o of bright sun

Today's look pairs a faux leather skirt with a black and white cut-out tank that creates a bit of an eyelet lace effect.  I paired the pieces with a white blazer for a fun work look.

I added black pumps and a red clutch for a pop of color.

Ring:  Target

I'm loving the leather trend for spring, and this skirt is a breezy way to wear it without feeling like I'm being smothered in the heat.  I may change my mind come July, but I'm enjoying it for now!

Clutch:  Vintage
