Black leather leggings and New Black Tote.

This is definitely one of my favourite colour combinations........Black paired with white and ecru is in my opinion simple, classic and tres chic. I have paired these 2 colours together various times and you can see two more posts featuring this colour combo here.....http://alessiapearl.blogspot.com/2011/06/spring-2011some-of-my-outfits-for-this.html and here....http://alessiapearl.blogspot.com/2011/11/brogue-heel-shoes-november-2011-ootd.html.

This time, however, I went slightly more edgy by introducing a pair of black leather leggings. The black part of this outfit therefore turned modern (although black leather pants might soon become the new black pants). The white, which helps achieve the classic black and white look, is in this case a soft and flowy cotton blouse with nice fabric details and light frills. This adds femininity to the outfit and soften the harsh look which leather can sometimes give (unless paired correctly). And finally the ecru jacket which is a sort of trench safari jacket brings the outfit together and takes it from girly and  edgy to elegant and chic but still casual. To maintain the classic theme I paired it with black patent flats and my new black leather tote (which you can read more about here....http://alessiapearl.blogspot.com/2012/04/black-totea-classic-purse.html). Accessories are kept to the minimum to avoid cluttering this simple relaxed look.
