today’s post title is from the song “black and gold” by sam sparro.

Maybe living in New York is finally getting to me, because sometimes shying away from my usual color experiments and going for basic black feels really fresh. And boy do I love these Loft pants (now just $30 plus an extra 40% off!!!); I’ve worn them three times in the two weeks I’ve owned them, they’re simultaneously retro and yet modern, they are comfortable and yet, dang! super chic and flattering. This time, I added a silk seersucker blouse for texture and all over gold accents.
