black and white

if there’s one item that can elevate any look, it’s a pair of heels. and while i’m a big fan of flats, and kitten heels, nothing can beat a pair of high heels for instant glamor. take a look at my ootd that is a simple black and white ensemble. but pair it with sky-high heels, especially ones with a fun pattern, and the outfit edges up a few notches. if i were headed out for drinks or dinner after work i’d change my lipstick to bright red, and grab a red clutch. but for a chic nine-to-five look my lips are kept neutral. as far as handbags, either white or black would match. so remember, high heels are a great way to accessorize your outfit.
