Not So Black and White

May 30th, 2008

After reading just about a million articles about how the pairing of black and white is suddenly huge for spring, I feel slightly confused. I’m not sure when exactly the classic combo went out of style, but nonetheless, I am eager to give it a go. Though I’m typically one to add lots of colorful elements to outfits, whether that be a sunshiney yellow sweater, or a bubble gum pink headband, the geometric patterns in Karta’s Zig Zag Dress, are far from dull. This short, mod dress is not only eye-catching, but the downward, diagonal stripes are super flattering. Best of all, at Lisa Kline, this has been marked down from its original price of $276 to a very affordable $69.

    Your zig zag dress links to a craigslist ad of a “Charming and Spacious 2 Bedroom, 2 Bathroom with LARGE PATIO” – both the dress and the apartment are very cute :)

    This combo never went anywhere. It just wasn’t getting any attention. Do it up!

    I re-read that and realize the comment reads like “that combo never worked.” I meant that it’s always been around, even though it just wasn’t getting any attention.

    Man, oh man that dress is hot and the price can’t be beat!

    You should also try typing “chevron” into eBay’s search engine – loads of cute dresses, many vintage at good prices.
