A simple black top : your most versatile piece to go from desk to dinner !

Here’s the thing : You won’t see me wearing a lot of black on here.
Why ?
Because for a start black can look a little hard and inspiring against your face sometimes.
Secondly black actually does not photograph very well .
It’s tricky. An outfit can look good IRL but put it on and try to photograph it and black can sometimes look like a snoozefest. Nigh nigh ! Haha

Which is why it’s important to invest in black pieces that have texture! shine! Or embellishment!
Or strong exaggerated shapes . Something interesting happening otherwise it can be BORING!

Which bring me to this fabulous black top !

• It has big dramatic sleeves .
• In an interesting satiny shiny fabric.
• It’s structured so it sits well, looks expensive, keeps its shape. ( it won’t look floppy even if you are haha)
• Won’t cling on things (lumps and bumps) you need to hide ( I’m an expert in that department !)
• The sleeves add drama and give good muffin arm coverage
• It’s transeasonal ; It won’t look too summery when you go out for dinner as the weather chills .

So many different ways to wear it !
With grey barrel jeans ( my fav jeans : I have in white & blue too) (size 42) and black pointy boots come winter .
With my fav Uniqlo blue straight jeans and white heels
With black bermuda shorts and thong heels.
Add a black designer YSL bag : ( the gift that just keeps giving , talk about cost per wear)
Done !

In winter I’ll wear with a black pleather skirt, with a brown coat nonchalantly tossed on my shoulders and boots !

I’m wearing a size 42 in the black top.

Steal my style !
