Black and white is back this spring. This classic color combination seemed to be everywhere during Calvin Klein’s and Marc Jacob’s spring 2013 runway shows.

I’m excited for the simple but bold look, especially during spring. So while everyone is donning pastel and bright colors, you’ll be sure to stand out in black and white outfit.

The perfect black and white dress:

These two dresses are from the new Kate Spade Saturday line. In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been obsessing over this collection ever since it launched last February. Both theWindowpanedress andScoopback dress in Zig Zagare simple, but leave room to play with accessories and color. Just to add a little bit of contrast to your outfit by wearing some bright shoes or aprinted square scarf.

The perfect clutch:


If you decide to wear something bright and colorful, maybe tone down your outfit with thePilot Clutchfrom rag & bone. This clutch is perfect for the spring, but you can also use it in the fall and winter season.

The perfect black and white necklace:

I’ve recently discovered Baublebar, and I have fallen in love with their designs. TheirNoir Peak Bibwill definitely make any outfit look refreshing. Try using this necklace with a solid color dress or top, so that it can stand out and be the focus of your outfit.
