Black and Brown

Mixing my blacks and browns once again. I actually put on the leopard beret just to prove a point - black and brown work together in nature, so whoever said they couldn't work together in fashion was clearly crazy - and more importantly, wrong.
Black and brown
I wanted to give my hair a break from the straight iron and deluded myself into thinking that a hat would tame it. It was back in the braid again before I left for work.

    I agree they go together.
    I really like that red blazer- for some odd reason (fear of color?) I dont have that many red items in my closet..

    That's a col idea--black and white week...we'll see...I'm kind of a color-addicted lady.

    I love your wild hair!

    I've only recently been a black and brown convert, and now that you've pointed out that they work together in nature (gee, why didn't I realise that?) I'm wondering why. Gorgeous look, especially that red jacket. The shade is just stunning!

    Such a beautiful outfit! I was actually afraid to risk wearing black and brown together, but a few months back I began experimenting with different pieces and surprisingly they don't look as bad as I thought they would be. :)
    The red blazer and lace skirt are gorgeous! xo

    Ugh I understand about the hair, I wish I could let mine go curly but it's too short. It'll just be a puffball. I like black and brown a lot although lately I've been going for a lot of black and navy. I realllly like the subtle pattern on your skirt! And always a huge fan of red :)
