Black & White Fashion

I have a not so secret obsession with dressing in black and white. My closet does have some items with color. However, most of my favorite pieces are black and/ or white. It makes combining various garments and adding a splash of color quite easy. An outfit need not be built in one day or one shopping trip. Many times, I work the new items into my closet. It helps to keep my wardrobe fresh and exciting. This color combination is very popular and it is easy to find a beautifully interesting item. The key to wearing a lot of black and white is the quality of the fabric, the uniqueness of the style, and a figure flattering fit.  One of my favorite things to do is wear modest make up with vibrant red lips when wearing these combination of colors.

This weekend, I found a few in my theme colors that I really like. I will post pictures soon of how these partnered with items that I currently have.

House Tour

 

The children's bedroom.

I added a new page, i.e. House Tour, to the Everyday Marvalous website. I will be updating it overtime with pictures of the home my husband and I purchased 3 years ago. Our home was built in 1987, has a lot of character but needed some updating. We consider this to be our forever home and enjoying putting our mark on the property. I plan to add before and after photos, as well. The new page is a work in progress, much like our home. It is a “marvalous” transformation and work of love. Enjoy!
