Office Style: It's black and white

Shoes: Cole Haan, Skirt: Greylin, Top: Halogen (similar here and here), Necklace: old Macy's find (similar on sale here and here)

Hello there! I hope you all had a fantastic weekend. I spent last week at a conference in Arizona and had to give a presentation to a large group. Since my goal was to be memorable, but not distracting, this black and white ensemble is what I wore. 

I've become partial to any combination of black and white, patterns and shorter hemlines. I find them classic with a twist of modernity. I felt particularly bold on this day and incorporated four pattern variations: crocodile embossed leather, color-blocking, stripes and polka dots. Minimalism describes my approach to accessories at the office, so I opted to add some tonal variation with a red matte lip.
