After yesterday's pattern fest I wanted something calmer. I thought I was going for minimalist here but now that I am looking at it I'm not sure if it is really minimalist. I felt pretty snazzy with the animal bag, column of black and leather jacket at work. Hope you like it!

Column of black with shades of brown leather and animal print? *fanning* Be still my heart. Rita you look like a tall, slim drink of water in this outfit, and every bit as refreshing, too!

Can you be "minimalist" while rocking leather AND animal print? Well, I'll leave that to more seasoned fashionistas. What you are is amazing in this. Strong and chic! Brown and black is terrific on you.

YLF.
(I have many more complimentary words but without the flailing hands, cock of the head and rolling eyes it all just sounds so wrong typed out).

This look is super-chic and awesome. Brilliant column of black and that jacket provides such a stylish contrast (and is so well-fitted on you). And the piece de resistance (I'm sure I spelled that wrong)--the bag! You are a visual example of the power of a handbag to elevate an outfit to another level.

Modgirl,
This is so beautiful on you. Black and brown mixed together is so elegant (2 of my favorite combos). What a delicious jacket! That bag is gorgeous! You look long and lean in the column! The outfit is a neutral with "flair". -

This is why you were meant to have that bag! What's not to love here? I have always liked black and brown, but this really works to illustrate how nicely they can play.

Love this look. I would definitely call it minimalist... just very classy minimalists.

Can you believe that black and brown combinations used to be a faux pas? It boggles my mind.
YLF, Rita!
When are we going to see the MJ polka dot bag?

modgrl replied 12 years ago
I like cognac and black together, I am still not a fan of dark brown and black combinations.
Dotty is coming out soon.
I am wearing my polka dot midi today. I thought it might be a bit much with a polka dot bag.

I hear you. Although you'd be catwalk ready wearing both dotty items together in one outfit.

Hi I'm modgrl and this is my blog. I work full time and have two sweet little ones. I have wide leeway in how I dress for my job but I know my youthful appearance and petite stature can make age appropriate polished dressing a challenge. On the weekends I like to have some fun with clothes that can take a beating while we are worm digging and puppy chasing.
