Once more, with felines


It's been almost a year since the first and last time I wore the black and white skirt-pants from Indonesia—high time to break them out for another outfit!

It couldn't be that hard, right? Black goes with everything. White goes with everything. Black-and-white goes with...well, usually only other black-and-white things, or else a solid color. Black with a solitary bold white diagonal stripe goes with...apparently nothing! I tried almost every top in my wardrobe but couldn't find anything that flattered when paired with the pants. I think their stumpy length might be partly to blame, but also the fact that the white stripe just stood out too much next to a top of any other color, including black.

However, as I learned last time, the pants do look good with another garment that's primarily black but also features white trim—so this time I wore them with my tiger top. The black background on the blouse, plus the bold white bottom hem, help tie it in with the colors on the pants.

The accent color for today (naturally, I wasn't going to settle for black or white accessories!) is fuchsia. I wore pink high-heeled pumps and a pair of pink dangle earrings.
