I caught this Fashionista on the University of Cincinnati’s campus sporting a bright on black look. Her bright blue, sleeveless, tie-front blouse and contrasting black shorts and sandals caught my attention. I love her loose locks that fall effortlessly, the perfect summer hairstyle!
Bright on black is a trend I love because it makes such a statement. This trend is the perfect way for you to stand out on campus this summer. Bright and black is also a super easy trend to wear because you can easily pull pieces out of your closet to create the look. Try a little black dress with a bright colored scarf, black jeans with a neon top, or even a colored dress with some black stilettos. The possibilities are endless when it comes to wearing bright and black.
As for colored pieces, I love Lulus.com for everything fun. Try out these bright green pumps that could easily make a fantastic statement against a black outfit. I also love this bright blue top from Piperlime, a perfect summer to fall transition piece. You might also want to check out all of these bright and colored jeans from Forever 21, my favorite pair is the bright pink ones. They are the perfect way to let your girly personality shine through.
Some classic black staples I believe every girl should have in her closet include a little black dress. There are so many different types of little black dresses out there, so I encourage you to find one that fits your budget and your personality well. But if you’re looking for one, I am a fan of this Calvin Klein beauty from Zappos. Pair this dress with some bright accessories or shoes and you are making the perfect bright and black statement. I also believe a good pair of black jeans are worth investing in, perfect for a back to school wardrobe because they can easily go with lots of things. Lastly, what’s a girl’s shoe collection without a classic pair of black pumps? If you’re looking to fill that gap in your shoe collection, check out this pair from ASOS.
Make a statement, and try the easy-to-wear combo of bright and blacks!
