BEFORE I GET STARTED ON DISCUSSING WHAT SOLANGE KNOWLES IS WEARING. I THINK BLACK AND WHITE COLOR-BLOCK IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE COLOR SCHEMES. ITS SO DIVERSE AND SO MANY PATHS YOU CAN TAKE TO STYLING IT. SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO, LETS DISCUSS WHAT SOLANGE KNOWLES IS WEARING.
TARA 101: SOLANGE KNOWLES PAIRED HER CURLY NATURAL HAIR WITH BOLD ORANGY-RED LIPSTICK. A BLACK AND WHITE TURTLENECK SWEATER, THAT SHE HAS TUCKED INTO A GRAY SILK SKIRT, PAIRED WITH BLACK AND WHITE, COLOR-BLOCK OPEN-TOE PUMPS. MY FAVORITE ASPECT OF THIS OUTFIT WOULD HAVE TO BE THE BLACK AND WHITE COLOR-BLOCKING SCHEME. SHE WENT FOR IT, AND SOFTENED THE LOOK UP, WITH THE GRAY SILK SKIRT. WHICH MAKES THE SWEATER AND THE SHOES, SET OFF LIKE A PICTURE FRAME. SHE DEFINITELY NAILED THIS LOOK. SHE REMINDED ME THAT BLACK AND WHITE COLOR-BLOCK IS JUST ONE OF THOSE COLOR SCHEMES, YOU CAN DO WHATEVER THE HELL YOU WANT WITH IT AND PULL IT OFF. SO I DECIDED TO RECREATE SOLANGE’S OUTFIT TO ITS ENTIRETY. WHILE ADDING MY OWN PERSONAL TOUCHES. SO LETS GET TO IT!
I PAIRED ETSY RED-ORANGE VINTAGE ACRYLIC CHANDELIER EARRINGS, WITH BOLD RED LIPSTICK, THAT I PAIRED WITH A FORTE FORTE, BLACK TURTLENECK SWEATER, PAIRED UNDERNEATH A MONCLER, BLACK AND WHITE CHAIN LINK PRINT, PATENT VEST, WITH A RED PATENT BELT (TIED AND TUCKED IN A KNOT AROUND THE VEST AND THE SWEATER.) I PAIRED THE LOOK WITH A BALENCIAGA, BLACK WOOL MINI SKIRT, WITH BLACK TIGHTS, AND SERGIO ROSSI, RED AND WHITE COLOR-BLOCK PUMPS.
FOR THE REST OF THE ACCESSORIES, AND THE JEWELRY, I PAIRED AN RED-ORANGE FENDI OVER-SIZED TOTE BAG, WITH BRIGHT BOLD RED NAILS. I PAIRED AN ETSY VINTAGE RED CHUNKY CUFF BRACELET ON ONE HAND. AND I PAIRED AN ETSY, RED-ORANGE TURQUOISE CUFF BRACELET, ON THE OTHER HAND.
TARA 101: SO FASHIONISTA’S NEXT TIME YOU DO A BLACK AND WHITE COLOR-BLOCK. DEFY THE ODDS AND GO FOR IT! ANY COLOR YOU WANT! REMEMBER YOU OWN IT! YOU CAN PULL IT OFF! SAYANARA! I WILL SEE YOU IN THE NEXT POST!
