And your little dog too!

Sorry, I just couldn't help it. Black and white, striped tights, lion belt, little dog; the Wizard of Oz reference was too much to ignore. But I can assure you I was not going for witch when I put on the striped tights. The stripes are even a bit more subtle in reality, but are accentuated by how sharp and contrasty I like my photos to look.

Someone went to the groomers, and isn't she so pretty?!

Sometimes I struggle to buy wardrobe basics, because they seem so boring. So when I can find a perfectly classic, completely necessary black blazer that also appeals to my pattern loving, leopard print lusting side, I know it was meant to be.

    haha I love the title of this post, and your dog (very appropriate for a b&w post) and the zipper on your dress is a lovely detail!

    Chloe looks adorable, fresh back from the groomers!
    The leopard lining on the jacket is great! I have a hard time buying basics, too... I just want more pop and excitement for my buck. But then, I'm also in my closet thinking... "gosh, I really wish I had a basic white tee"
