Daily Look: Diamonds and Dots

Blouse: J. Crew // Cardigan, Earrings: Loft // Skirt: Ann Taylor // Shoes: Nine West // Tights: Express // Nails: Essie Velvet Voyage

I'm no New Yorker, so wearing all black isn't something I do often. I love a jolt of color like a good Texan gal should. But on days when I do wear a lot of black, I prefer to combine lots of textures and patterns to keep things from feeling drab. One of the easiest ways to do that is by throwing on textured tights instead of solid ones, and these diamond-patterned babies have held up through five Indiana winters, impressively. I hope I didn't just jinx it!

Do you prefer to wear colors or black?
