Grrrr…sorry for the blurry pics - not sure what happened there.

Anyway, today's outfit started with my black EF drape front dress. This is, for my body type and style, THE PERFECT DRESS! And because I am not seasonally biased about wearing the colour black (I know some who don't like to wear it in summer) I decided to go all black in my outfit today. I popped on my black EF open front cardigan over top the dress (I realize it's difficult to see black layers in a picture) - love how they layer so perfectly.

For footwear, I went with my black and white polka dot Birks and chose my black with gold hardware leather handbag. Then for a pop of colour, I chose my red specs and a bold red lip (waving at you Mo!). To finish off the outfit, I went with my gold watch and wedding band.

This is the kind of ease and simplicity I've been craving lately and this outfit is the perfect example of where I want to be and continue to go in my style journey.

What do you think? Does all black in summer speak to you or do you consider it more of a fall/winter colour? As always, all comments/suggestions welcome.
