Black and white is alright

The black and white trend is big this spring. Maybe it's because it is so easy to wear. Putting an outfit together is a no brainer and whatever you wear you end up looking very chic. Another way to wear black and white is by freshening the look with bright accessories like coloured patent shoes and bags or some pretty jewellery. Use these looks as inspiration.
