How to Look Stylish in Black and White
Happy Tuesday and welcome to the Over 50 Fashion Edit. This month Jennifer and I are joined by our friend Sarah and we are talking black and white. The combination of black and white is both the easiest and the most timeless color pairing in fashion. It can be elegant, interesting, casual or quirky.
