Mixing Black and Brown

Short-sleeved black velvet jacket, Forever 21. Black lace blouse, Newport News. Brown strapless dress, Newport News. Herringbone tights, Forever 21. Brown boots, Nine West. Drop earrings with brown crystals, Express.

I used to be afraid to mix black and brown, but no longer! The two colors can work very well together. I’ll admit, though, I wish I had a brightly colored accessory, like a teal shoe, to add a bit of “pop.” I had to settle for the red of my hair and lips to brighten up my ensemble.
