Even on lovely Spring days I’m not always in the mood for color – That’s why my wardrobe has a hefty dose of moody black & white prints. They’re dramatic and eye-catching without being overly in-your-face which I especially like for hot Summer nights.

My favorite way to spice up a clean black & white look is with a statement piece – A killer necklace, a dramatic shoe, or, as in this case, a bold scarf. I raved about this fun TopShop scarf earlier this Spring {Transitioning From Winter-To-Spring} and clearly the love affaire continues! 
What’s your favorite way to spice up a simple look?

Glad you liked it Kiki!
I got that scarf in the pink and gray version and have yet to wear it yet. I don’t think anything will compare to this look, love, love, love it with the black and white!

Thanks Cara. I can’t wait to see yours!
That scarf is gorgeous. Does the belt come with the dress too? The b/w dress is so pretty!
Thanks Ash! Nope, the belt is actually from a different dress.
I like to mix n match!
Ohh that’s lovely. You did a fantastic job!
Love this look lady! So pretty!

I’m a color addict but I still have a few black and white dresses so I don’t look like a clown every day of summer.:D Some days you just don’t feel like wearing colors, I agree… Gorgeous dress, honey, you look absolutely lovely!
You’re too sweet – Thank you!
Great look, I know what you mean I’m not always in the mood for loads of color.
