This week I thought I'd try a bright accessory with both light and dark tones. A bright bag is a fun way to change up an outfit that you already have in the closet and make it feel new. This bag, made by Ralph Lauren, also comes in bright green and glorious magenta plus it's on sale at Macy's.

Now that's not fair :) I would love to know where the black dress is from... please :) The neckline is beautiful on you along with the length and the fall of the fabric. I love colour added to black this way, it's lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe black dress is 20 years old and the brand is Y and Co. It's one of those basic designs that I keep for years and years.
DeleteI love both your looks here. How different the bag looks in the black and the colour contexts. What a cool studio building!! Always, stunning photos.
ReplyDeleteI actually love the bag with the black dress as it adds a fun pop of color to the outfit. And those white wide-legs in the first pic are gorgeous!

The black dress with the bag is very city-chic, it reminds me of the end of summer in NYC when people still wear black with pops of color.
ReplyDeleteI love the second outfit. Tres chic.

Gorgeous bag, and gorgeous outfits! I like the red jacket and the big pants. I don't read fashion magazines, so I don't know if it's just bloggers or are wide-leg pants making a comeback? I love the silhouette. And that black dress is so cool, especially with the coooooool shoes! I hope you go out on the town dressed like that!
ReplyDeleteHey thanks Val. I'm liking a wider legged pant for the sake of a change. This black dress is a "go to" outfit of mine for a long time. Change up the accessories and it always feels simple and clean.
DeleteIt 's nice to see where you work. It' s a bit like knowing about your world.I like very much your white large pants , so 70s. And of course I do love your fantastic bag, which matches well with both outfits. I hope your summer is going on well. See you, dear Ann. . .
ReplyDeleteGreat purse - I love the laser cut outs! I have a bright yellow purse that I love to use against darker colors. Have a great weekend!

What a fabulous buy the dress was. It's lovely on you and I also love the shoes and bag. I need an LBD with sleeves and they are not so easy to come by. Marie S
