Black…  The universal wardrobe color essential.  We all wear it, we all have that little black number we pull out on occasion.  The one that fits snug or short enough to wear in public, but only because it’s black.  Any other dress in any other color would be considered harsh or inappropriate.  There’s something about that little black dress that makes you feel stunning and sexy.  But how do you bring this black number through the seasons, you ask?  Answer:  Pops of color.  They call it “pop style.”  Pop style is a Jamaican slang word for attitude or showoff.  In wardrobe it’s bright, bold, in your face, showing out, pops of color.  This Coach bag in Dahlia is a perfect pop of color for any black attire!  Try a pair of Adidas shell toes, or even a bold pair of pumps.  Pop style is all about attitude and flare. It’s that little bit of cockiness expressed in an outfit, the “look at me, I have arrived.”  So, this summer, I encourage you to add some pops of color to your favorite black piece and yourself, like Kanye loves Kanye!  It’s okay to add that pop style and color flare to a neutral outfit, just make sure you flaunt your look.  Get it girl!

XOXO,
