Black, White, and Chic All Over

Today's post idea comes from The Bf. Get excited. He is on the hunt for a statement suit and has inspired me to translate it for women's. He is testing a windowpane print for a suit, so I thought we would try it for us. We've looked at this style in the past but I really like it for cooler weather.

Nordstrom, NYDJ Jacquard Cardigan, $98

This cardi is stunning and you are going to get a ton of wear out of it. Pair it for work with a silk tie neck blouse or throw it on with distressed bf jeans for the weekend.

Landsend, Wear To Work Trouser Pants, $34

You need these pants. I'm obsessed with them. Straight leg fit, pair with stripes or solids, these pants do it all, including being machine washable.

Old Navy, Boyfriend Windowpane Flannel Shirt, $27

You're going to need flannel this year. This top is crazy versatile. My coworker just purchased it and plans to wear it alone or underneath a sleeveless denim dress. So cute.

JCrew, Windowpane Scarf, $49

This is a wool linen blend which is just perfect for fall. Use it with yesterday's jean jackets.

A great windowpane print is so different than a plaid or a stripe, it has a clean and crisp look that is so easy to wear. One of  my favorite black and white trends.

Crack A Window

Sometimes a great print is all you to take your outfit to the next level. I love a great windowpane print because it's monochrome, simple and awesome. Geometric, mod, and modern it just works.

Bloomingdale's, AQUA Window Pane Swing Dress, $88

I'm starting with my favorite. I love the combination of the large print and the swing dress style.

White House Black Market, Sleeveless Windowpane Blouson Dress, $69

A relaxed fit on its own or add on with a metallic belt, denim jacket, or a colored sandal.

Urban Outfitters, Lucca Couture Windowpane Shift Dress, $39

Wear this now with a long tassel necklace, and later with black booties and a denim jacket.

Nordstrom, Halogen Check Shift Dress, $98

A great work option. The collar is detachable so you can add your own oxford underneath for a long sleeve option.

The windowpane print is simple and eye catching. I love it for its versatility.

That Sale in the Window

Ok lovebugs, today we're looking at a trend that's gotten a whole lot of attention lately. I say lately because we've looked at this pattern back in June. The windowpane print. It's similar to a plaid but monochrome in color. The pattern can vary in size which is great to match proportion to your body type.

Loft, Windowpane V Neck Cardigan, $59

100% cotton and 100% fantastic. I love the balance of the black and light blue.

Starting simple? Try these sheer tights with a pencil skirt (of any color).

No, really, these pants at this price. Just go. Go now.

Cracking A Window

Hey there lovebugs,
Happy Monday. I hope you had a lovely weekend. Now that we're back into the Monday-Friday, I thought we'd think inside the box. More specifically the windowpane. I love this geometric trend because its a great balance to all of the spring florals, pastels etc.

Ann Taylor, 3/4 sleeve windowpane cardigan, $59

This is a great cardigan for now and for winter. You can throw this on at work or layer it with skinny jeans and a statement earring in November.

Nordstrom, Leif Windowpane Scarf, $28

This is the summer scarf you've been searching for. I love this mix of green and peach.

Macy's, Glitterings Turquoise Windowpane Ring, $20

For $20 this is a perfect statement ring for summer. This turquoise is perky and sunny.

Shoptiques, Ivory Windowpane Skirt, $45

Oh hi there office chic that will turn some heads. This is a great canvas for a colorful blouse. Preferably one that does not show off your awesome belly button.

Windowpane is a great print for summer that is a little more straightedge. You can balance this harsher print with a floral necklace or a colorful sandal pump.
