It’s been a white since I wore a black, white and red combination. I put this outfit together rather hastily but I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Nothing here is new – I’ve featured everything in this outfit on the blog before, but not all together until now. The culottes are a few years old now and I’ve previously worn them with: a red blouse, rainbow sweater, lobster print top, crocheted vest, cobalt top and cheetah print top. I have a lot of clothes, but I like to make them work hard by finding different ways of styling them!
I’ve also featured this polka dot blouse with pink trousers before. Whether it’s stripes, spots or check, I like to pair black and white with a warm colour for contrast. The gingham mules stick to the colour palette while adding in a little bit of print mixing to the outfit too. I usually find backless shoes difficult to wear because they flap around and fall off my feet, but these aren’t too bad. I wouldn’t want to walk far in them, but they’re fine for work and going to the shops. (These green ones from Asos are a similar style and I’m very tempted!) The glass ring, which I bought in Sorrento years ago, matches this black and white spot blouse perfectly!
SHOP THE LOOK
Just for a fun touch, I chose my red heart sunglasses that I picked up in a vintage shop in Nottingham a few years ago. With the weather turning cooler I added my Pom Amsterdam bugs jacket as an extra layer. (It has also made several appearances on the blog). It’s not cold, but it’s been very overcast which makes it feel cooler somehow. Give it a couple of weeks and we’ll probably need the heating on!

Love the red and black together! It is too hot here to start thinking about transitioning to fall, but that hasn’t stopped me from buying some fall coats!

Emma, I’m in love with this outfit! I’ve always been a fan of black and white red. It’s such a classy colour combination. You always add such fun and quirky accessories which makes it such a YOU outfit!
Those shoes are gorgeous too. I’ve always quite liked pointy flats but my husband can’t stand them so I never bought them. Now though, it doesn’t really bother me if he dislikes something so I ought to try and find myself a pair or two!! Thanks for the link-up!

I really love the red and the black and white print together.

Love high neck blouses Emma. Great for my age bracket! I hate my neck xx
Emma, this outfit is absolutely fabulous! I love each piece on its own but the combination of them is just brilliant! Black and white and red is one of my favorite combinations ever as well. You are beautiful, my friend!

Red with black and white is one of my favourite combinations! The bag and charm really caught my eye. I am wearing 3 layers yet again today so I should be thinking about transitioning, but I haven’t got my winter clothes down yet. Maybe at the weekend! x
Pretty outfit Emma! I love the blouse and the collar and elastic at the wrists, it looks wonerful with the trousers. This is a favorite color combination! I also love the mix of patterns with your cute shoes! I have been buying all secondhand lately on Poshmark, and do look forward to styling things different ways with my current closet.
Have a great week!

Hope you are having a great weekend 🙂 We had a quiet day yesterday as we had a big day at the zoo on Friday – we got to feed a giraffe!
Emma, what a great showcase for restyling items you already have in your wardrobe and pairing them up in a new way. Red with black and white is a classic combo and here you’ve created a fresh and fun look. Well done.
