Black X white is right

Black and white never goes out of style and it’s been part of my wardrobe for a while. I’m not kidding, check out this pic.  So when I came across Sanctuary, a very cool L.A. based brand, I was really taken with their summer knits in the monochrome shade. Take this skirt for example, the design is graphically neat while the cut is flattering and sleek. It could easily be dressed up but the tomboy (or tombabe if you wish) in me had to pair it with the Stan Smith kicks. And what about this cropped top. If you’ve been following my Instagram, you know that I have a thing for exposing the midriff. I like matching a loose fit with a slimmer cut.  To me it’s the perfect balance because after all, just like in life, great style is all about achieving that right give and take.
