Bold black and white pieces are shaping up to be one of spring’s must-have items for every woman. I caught up with Victoria in Chicago’s Gold Coast shopping district when her striped blazer caught my eye. I love how she paired such a graphic, tailored piece with shorts for a stylish take on the black and white trend. Victoria is another great example of a woman who dresses for herself, and uses her appearance as a way to express herself to the world.

 

 

To recreate Victoria’s look I styled Gabby with a designer blazer, which is available for $34.99 at T.J.Maxx compared to $58 elsewhere. I also chose to go with lemon jeans to show you how to combine two trends – in this case black & white with the ladylike sorbets we saw all over the runways for Spring. I love shopping at T.J.Maxx where I can get quality, designer brands that allow me to express my personal style!
