cheap(er) chic: basic black + white

For the transitional period between summer and Fall when it is not quite time to pull out the corduroy whale skirt but the searsucker pants no longer seem appropriate, I recommend black and white pieces to get you through. Some of my favorite options that are all under $225...

(alice+ olivia shirt, 3.1. phillip lim accordion necklace, headband from anthropologie, pucci wallet, kate spade flats, maje striped cotton dress)
And it seems that I am partial to black and white pieces that also feature bows!
