I have a serious love for black and white. The fact that it’s “in” this coming spring makes me giddy inside, but on a day like the day these photos were taken, this look needed something. Pop of color there you are. See, black and white in the sunshine = total victory. Black and white in the snow and cold = meh, not so much. Thank you yellow clutch, you totally saved the day.

Something else I love, tights and shorts. I don’t think it’s for everyone, but the thickness of these tweed shorts from Gap totally say winter wear to me.

What do you think- pop of color with black and white? Shorts in winter? Spill!

    I adore the winter shorts look! And you're right, that pop of yellow is exactly what this snowy day needs!

    I have never tried the shorts and tights thing, but that's because I have never had the right shorts. I love this look on you though! The yellow clutch is the perfect pop of color.

    I am a big fan of this one Amy! Yes, totally agree a bright pop of color – bright like yellow or hot pink – is needed for a black and white outfit. And your pictures look great! I love the dark outfit against the white background.

    I love this outfit. I have a pair of tweed burmuda shorts from the Gap. Love it. Love the combination of tights, shorts and blazer. Gorgeous.

    I've been looking through your post and often like what you wear, thought this one is really a winner. You have made me 1 excited for winter to come (as I'm in Australia) and 2. motivated to pull out my knee high boots/buy some more! My fav part of this outfit is the boots. You have made them classy without a hint of being tacky (which is done all too often!).

    btw thanks for popping by x
