Black, White, & Mint

I have so many colorful and/or printed tops, and sometimes I have trouble finding a basic bottom half in my closet to balance it out. So when I found this black (but not boring) skirt on sale at Madewell, I figured it was a good opportunity to fill out my collection of wardrobe basics. (One of my greatest skills is rationalizing unnecessary clothing purchases.)

Then I was excited about my new purchase and wanted to wear it right away. And it took me half an hour to find something to wear with it. You saw that one coming a mile away, didn’t you? Yeah. Maybe the versatility only goes one way. On the bright side, I reminded myself that black + white + accent color is always a good fallback.
