Lunch on Santa Monica Blvd.

I may love my blacks, whites, and grays but I promise you... I do wear other colors.  In this outfit I'm showcasing, I got 3 great main items for $12.99 each, a 5 dollar tank, and super cheap accessories.

Outfit:
This outfit was to wear out to lunch with some friends in West Hollywood.  It's simple, comfortable, and cute.  Throw it with a simple brown bag to mesh with the gold and you're set!  The cute head band with diamonds and beads dress up the outfit.  The gold buttons on the cardigan add a classy touch and the gold chain necklace is an added accessory for a finished look.  I could have done without the necklace but it helped bring out the black and white of the outfit.

The 3/4 sleeved cardigan is a simple black and white striped design but the gold buttons and lace trim down the center make it look classy.  The gray camisole on the inside has a white sequined trim on the top.  The black skinny pants have a zipper at the ankle on each pant leg for an added design.
