There has never been a more striking color contrast or combination than that of Black and White: from clothing to furniture, photography to artwork, and yes, even in food (B&W cookie, anyone?). It just works, beautifully. Here in California, where there are no real noticeable changes to our seasons, to signify the emergence of fall and winter, we just tend to add more black to our wardrobes.
Years ago, there was indeed a point when I wore entirely too much black, year-round; seemingly stuck in a period of perpetual mourning, a state of sartorial abeyance. (Or so it seemed.) And while I have finally started adding bits of color to my wardrobe, looking at the images below, I now remember why I still opted to decorate my apartment in the visual romance that is Black & White: It just works… Beautifully!
