Spring Fashion in Black and White

March 29, 2016

Florals for Spring? Groundbreaking. We’re going bold with one of the biggest fashion trends this season – black and white. In a complicated world, there’s something reassuring about a clean, simple color palette. The Dolls were styled by one of our favorite local boutiques, Kiz Chicago for some on-trend Spring fashion. The overall style aesthetic is modern, darling and badass all at the same time.

 Spring fashion is here and the black and white color palette is here to stay. Caitlin is wearing a cap-sleeve eyelet dress, one of the many Kiz has in store this season – available for $105. Danielle is wearing a must-have black dress with deep-v illusion – available for $69.

Chicago Fashion Blog - Once Upon a DollhouseEven Karl Lagerfeld once said, “black and white always looks modern, whatever that word means.”

Spring Fashion Kiz is Chicago’s hottest new contemporary women’s clothing store located right on Division St. with a constant inventory of fresh, must-see women’s clothing
Chicago Lifestyle BlogYou will often see fashion editors and executives wear head-to-toe black and white. It’s a sleek statement of perfection. Psst! It’s also a full-proof look. Seriously, it’s so rare to see a fashion faux pas in this uniform.

Spring Fashion TrendsHow to wear this look: You want to keep your look totally monochromatic with maybe one pop of color – we like adding this in with mirrored your sunglasses or even a bright bag.

Spring FashionBonus– We met some adorable pups at the dog park! They were so on-trend with our black and white vibe we had to take them for a stroll. 

Chicago Blog - Once Upon a DollhouseIf you can’t help accessorizing, choose a statement piece in, yes, black or white. We love a bold necklace or earrings in this case.

Black and White fashion trendYour shoes should stay in a similar color palette – black or white. We also always love to have a trendy neutral on hand – gold cuffs and lace-ups are dependable showstoppers and closet investments.

    I love that you’re wearing black/white complimentary outfits! Nude heels are definitely my go-to for almost any outfit. In fact, I’m lusting over a new pair for spring!

    I love the simplicity of black and white but honestly in the spring I am all over the pastels and bold bright colours. With all the snow and ice I shy away from white until closer to summer.

    • Dollhouse says

      March 30, 2016 at 5:08 pm

      Thanks, Heather! Pastels are so beautiful we love them for Spring too. XO

    I don’t know what it is about Spring that makes me want to buy all the dresses, but seriously I do!
    I love white as a Spring (and anytime) trend!

    I have always been a fan of solid black or white dresses. I especially like the white dress paired with the nude strappy heels.

  20. Heather says

    March 31, 2016 at 10:47 pm

    I never thought about nude heals with black and white outfits – great look! I love that these are spring colors right now, I have a lot of both already in my closet!

    You can’t go wrong with classic black and white. I have to admit I was a little distracted by the beautiful blue skies in your photos.

  23. Toni says

    Pairing the nude shoes with the black and white outfits for spring is a great idea! I love the thought of having this as an option because some days I just don’t feel colorful.

    Whether it’s prints, stripes or colour blocking, working the monochrome look is so easy, there’s none of the worry of wearing colours that don’t compliment each other. Black and white make the perfect partnership.

      Thanks, Doll!
