B+W

Black and white have always been synonymous to classy, classic, elegant and sexy. The absence of colour and the natural allure of blinding lights are just too sexy to ignore. Save for those who love their neons and pastels, black and white are the most popular favourite colours - or the absence of such - among women and men. Although Vogue and Harper's BAZAAR do love their colours, black and white has graced endless covers of such titles, sharing the limelight with supermodels and celebrities as Naomi Campbell, Angelina Jolie, Daria Werbowy and Christy Turlington, to name a few.

I have been a faithful disciple of these colours. Since I was a kid, I have my own fair share of wearing plain shirts while my friends are donning Hello Kitty tops in the sweetest shade of pink. I was wearing the most number of black tops, black dresses, black skirts, black tights, black patent sandals when my classmates were wearing yellow skorts (do you remember the skirt with shorts inside that come in the most outrageous prints ever invented?), pink patent sandals in the chunkiest heels ever (that will always ALWAYS make me want to throw up), or even neon green socks paired with neon orange Nike shoes. 

Yes, I was and still am a follower of simple and classic fashion. I think I got the simplicity style from my mom who always look absolutely gorgeous in jeans and a classy top, pearl earrings and a dainty handbag; and the classic style from my dad who still got the swag when he's wearing the requisite blue jeans paired with a classic polo shirt and a big man's watch.

This post has nothing to do with black dresses or the comparison of my childhood fashion sense to that of my friends's. I just want to share some quick black and white photographs that my friend Nicco took on a Sunday morning. More photos wearing this look on the next post.
