Black and White and Striped all over



January 14, 2013

Oscar de la Renta – he can do no wrong. And the above is no exception. When I saw this piece I got a little faint. It’s simple, but glamorous, clean but interesting. It’s breathtaking. So is the price (more than $6000!). But I think that Oscar has reminded us of the impact good lines and contrast make. Black and white looks classic and polished, and there’s something to be said to doing black and white just right. 
Here are some fabulous, more affordable, black and white striped dresses if you’re craving some contrast in your life!

    The Oscar De La Renta dress is absolutely breathtaking! I also love all the less expensive dresses you posted. I've always had a thing for stripes 🙂

    Oooh Oscar. I fall head over heels for his dresses. I had a teacher once that had a WEDDING dress by him. She got the whole class's attention with that one.
