The Allure of Black & White
Black and white is a timeless classic that combines sophistication with versatility (what is more sophisticated than an a black outfit). Its stark contrast creates a sleek, elegant look that never goes out of style, making it perfect for any occasion—from casual outings to formal events. The beauty of black and white lies in its simplicity, allowing for endless mixing and matching, while also serving as a perfect backdrop for bold accessories or statement pieces. Incorporating black and white clothes and accessories into your wardrobe ensures you'll always have chic, effortlessly put-together options that stand the test of time, making it a must-have for every fashion-forward individual.

As I started this post and thought about classic black and white, it occurred to me that classic doesn’t mean boring…not by any stretch. Classic is tried and true, classic has stood the test of time. At this point, I started pondering how I might want to be remembered and what I want to be going forward in my life…this is what I came up with!
“I envision myself as a woman whose wardrobe is a balance between timeless elegance and intriguing surprises…pieces that reflect my ever shifting moods and somewhat eclectic tastes. My home is a haven filled with love and treasures collected over the years, each item represents a chapter of my story, weaving a tapestry of memories and meaning.
I have a signature scent so distinctive that it announces my presence before I even walk in the room—subtle, unforgettable, undeniably me.
I want to effortlessly create moments that become cherished memories for my family (I’m still working on the effortless part), whether it’s whipping up a gourmet meal without breaking a sweat or hosting gatherings that leave everyone talking long after they’re over.
When it comes to the holidays, my Christmas decor is unapologetically extravagant and utterly fabulous—because that’s precisely how I like to celebrate and live. Living well is not just a lifestyle…it’s a curated style, but with substance, and a touch of passionate flair.”
I think I’ll put that on my bathroom mirror and read it on those days when I just want to stay in my pajamas all day and not take a shower! Life can be hard and having a vision, even an extravagant one can be helpful and a reminder to rise to the occasion!
If you were to write a couple of paragraphs about how you would like to be remembered, what would you say?
Thanks so much for reading today…I hope you enjoyed this post! Have a fabulous Sunday!
