An all-black outfit is the easiest to style in my opinion. There’s really not much to it. Grab a pair of black pants, your favorite tee, black shoes and voila, you’re done. Though I prefer color, there are times when I feel like wearing black. Black clothing evokes such a feeling of sexiness and power and I think we can all need to feel that once in a while.
I walked into Forever 21 to pick up a few basic tees and I ended up picking up this high slit longline tee along with this tan tote . I love the high slit side of the t-shirt because it takes a simple look from basic to chic. It’s also perfect with leggings or skinny jeans. You can easily take it from a day to night look by wearing flats or dressing it up with your favorite pair of heels. I wore a black camisole underneath because it is cut pretty high and I didn’t want skin to show since I was at work. 🙂
I have been searching high and low for a tan tote to use as an everyday bag and I’m so happy I stumbled upon this one. I had previously ordered the Nordstrom BP reversible tote but it was way too big for my taste. This F21 tote is the perfect size for me and it is surprisingly durable. It also comes in three colors and fits just about everything. It’s already become my new everyday bag.
I hope everyone has a great weekend. I’m just hoping for dry weather that’s all. 🙂

You killed this look! I love all of the pieces – especially the pants + the tote! And I am totally with you… I do love wearing color, but there’s nothing like an all black outfit. 🙂 Happy Friday! XO

I love this look! All black is one of my favorites too, I actually have a super similar outfit planned for my blog this week! And I’ve been looking for a tan bag like that too. The Nordstrom one was my top pick, but it’s good to hear your review of it and liking this one better!

Thanks love. Yeah, I wanted a medium size tote but I thought the one from Nordstrom was way too big. The one positive with their bags is that they’re reversible but that wasn’t a deal breaker for me. I’m really happy with this one from F21. I can’t wait to see your post! Xoxo
