Black (and Brown) Beauties... Together at Last!

Breaking the rules never looked so good.

Hello Middle Sisters! Drama Queen here with a very fashion forward post for you today. I am sure all of you remember the basic fashion do's and don'ts of yester-year, but I am writing to excitedly tell yout o throw them out with last year's faux fur trent! Last week, I touched on the fabulousness of wearing white after Labor Day (I hope some of you listened to my advice!) and today I am going to introduce you to some of my favorite--and not to mention modern--black and brown combos.

Obviously there is the always classic and oh-so-chic
Burberry - Funnell Neck Check Wool Coat
But here is a modern twist:
Alexander Wang - Trench Dress paired with a simple black belt and black peep-toe platforms. Wear this during a casual day out.
Or jazz it up with these Kathryn Amberleigh - Suede Over-the-Knee Boot for drinks out with the girls! Oh, and who could resist these super cute flats? Dolce Vita - Nove Leopard Flats with Small Studs. Love. Love. Love the studs

Now, on to the more challenging combinations of blacks and browns.

Check out this military inspired
Eryn Brinie outfit!
And this
Rachel Pally - Tribal Camisole Dress
perfectly mixes a dark brown and rich black
in its chic pattern.

Ok, I have given you my sound advice regarding the beautiful mixing of blacks and browns, but DO NOT over do it! Use your own personal fashion intuition because fashion is not about trends or what's hot and what's not, fashion comes from within. And great personal style can break any rules and look fabulous getting away with it.

Next week's rule to be broken: mixing patterns and florals and stripes... all in the same outfit? Indeed! Ciao my Sisters :-)
