Black on Black on Black

32 Replies

My brain does not want to write about food today. Let’s talk fashion, shall we? As much as I love wearing obnoxiously bright jeans, I’ve purchased a lot of black items lately. I guess I’m in mourning that Summer is over.

1. Banana Republic lace top. I could wear this every day.image

2. Leave it to Target’s junior section to have a slew of inexpensive party dresses. Buyer beware, this dress is SHORT! I’m saying that and I’m barely 5’2’’.

3. I lost my favorite Boden pea coat last year, so I quickly bought this one from Old Navy while it was on sale. Last year I bought it in orange and am so glad they brought it back.

4. Old Navy Crepe Roll Up Shirt. Like it’s shown here, this top is a great way to tone down bright colored jeans.

5. I found these adorable shorts at Marshalls and bought them in cream and black.

6. There was no way on earth I was spending a bunch of money on black leather pants, so I was thrilled to find these at Target. Yes, Target. I’m busting these out for Halloween for practice.image7. Ann Taylor Leather Motorcycle Jacket. I was hesitant to buy this at first, but am so glad I did. Major sass.

8. Fossil Black & Rose Gold Watch. I actually got this last Winter but am still so obsessed with it.

9. C. Wonder Skinny Calf Hair Belt. I’m so obsessed with everything C. Wonder.image

10. Steve Madden Sarrina Suede Pumps. These are the best!

What’s your favorite black piece in your wardrobe?

Regardless of the season, do you prefer wearing neutrals or lots of color?

    I just bought a pair of black Toms, the classic style. I’m not a boots kind of girl (calves are too short), so I needed a comfy closed toe shoe for fall/winter. Luckily, with the mild CA weather, Toms will work most of the winter.

      I still haven’t bought a pair of Toms. Are they really that comfortable? One of my friends hated hers but I know people love them usually!

      • mariafalls

        Yes! Super comfortable! The classics you don’t have to break in, but the ballet flats and wedges you do. In fact, I’m STILL breaking in those darn wedges that I bought about a year ago. But the classics are like slippers…

    Love all these purchases! As much as I like color, I always tend to gravitate towards black–it’s a classic! :)

    I have a black lacy shirt from J. Crew that I love.  I haven’t been able to wear it with my pregnant belly, so I’m really looking forward to it!  I tend to mix colors and neutrals- although when I lived in NY, it was neutrals all the way.

    They brought that coat back? I may need to get another too! I have a grey one. Those shorts are super cute. I need to go shopping!

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      yes, the coat is back! and in a couple colors…

    I love all these pieces! Especially those lacy black shorts.

    I used to be a neutrals girl, but lately I’ve been embracing the colour! I try to tone it down by pairing it with neutrals though.

    I just bought the Target Dress in Black! Leggings are necessary =)

  • Paige Springle

    I want that watch!  And those pants.  How do you buy pants at Target?  I’m 5’3″ and everything is so loong on me.  Do you have a good tailor?

    You? Wear black? I’m shocked. I used to wear a ton of black but you inspired me to incorporate more color into my wardrobe. Love the leather pants, by the way, and those suede pumps!

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      haha i can go from pastels to black with a 20 degree drop in the weather. it freaks me out.

    LOVE C.Wonder! My bank account, on the other hand, does not.

      haha, no joke!

  • Teatimewithtess

    Love this. I need a skinny black/gold belt to add to my wardrobe and the one you found is exactly the one I’ve been dreaming of! 

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      yay! c wonder has really good sales, so watch out for them!

    You’ve saved me! I looked all over King street last week for black leather pants. No luck. I didn’t bother walking into the expensive boutiques, though. To Target I go!

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      awesome!! yeah don’t spend money on those things…we’ll probably hate them next year.

  • http://www.lauralikesdesign.com Laura @ LauraLikesDesign

    All of these items are super cute! I especially like the peacoat! I’d say I tend to go more for the neutrals! Grey, black, brown, and white make up a lot of my wardrobe. Oh, and teal because that’s my favorite color! 

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      i love love that coat. and it will go on sale!

    I love those black lace items! I’ve been looking for a lacy long-sleeved dress like that too.. looks like I may have a trip to Target in my future :)

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      thank goodness for target.

  • http://twitter.com/countmycupcakes Brittany Dahn

    I bought those lace shorts in black too!! Love them. My favorite black piece though would be simple cotton leggings. Versatile and comfortable, especially for fall!

    • http://www.hungrymeetshealthy.com/ Christina

      i was going to put leggings on my list but i liked the even 10 on my list, haha!

  • Caitlin Covington

    Oh my goodness, girl, you’ve been all about black lately! I LOVE that Target dress, that black lace is fabulous. And that WATCH. I am in love.

      i know — it’s getting out of hand. :)

    That dress is SO cute! I love Target! Though if it’s short on you… it’d probably look like a top on my 5’8 frame, ha! Oh well,  it’s worth a try! I definitely am going to find it at my Target and try it on! :)

    i’m a biiiig neutrals person! i just love mixing and matching them with some sort of color – my fav black outfit is a dress i wore to my cousins wedding other than that i do love my black riding boots! they’re so very mr. darcy hahah

  • http://lifesabowl.com/ Life’s a Bowl

    Love the lace top and dress…  Although, I think a short dress on you would be a shirt on me considering I’m 5’10″ :P   Awesome leather jacket, I don’t think I could ever pull it off!

    I actually love the look of black on black…I think it’s so chic, and such a good “building block” for accessories!
