hi every friends it's mel i am back in


0:10

the fitting room in chicago at our


0:12

oakbrook location and coming out to show


0:15

you some of my favorite looks today we


0:17

are going to talk about


0:18

great black and white outfits i think at


0:21

every we have become known for our print


0:24

and our color and we do that beautifully


0:26

but our buyers and designers i think


0:28

also do a great collection of just super


0:31

simple neutrals which are always easy


0:34

chic looks so let me start with this top


0:37

this is by every so we designed this


0:39

it is a great little simple blouse for


0:42

spring and into summer this is the


0:44

penelope poplin blouse and it's knit in


0:48

the v


0:48

and then in this little volume not not a


0:51

lot so if you're not into the really you


0:53

know voluminous statement tops this is


0:56

much more simple it doesn't have a ton


0:57

of volume


0:58

but it goes back to this woven


1:00

fabrication so you've got this kind of


1:02

woven in your sleeve and then some


1:04

detail right here at the elbow and then


1:06

the the bodice of it is in this knit


1:08

fabric you know i love a v-neck


1:11

especially for those of us that are


1:13

broader through the shoulder or have


1:15

more of a bust but but really you can't


1:17

go wrong on any body type


1:19

with a v-neckline but i do really love


1:21

this just really easy to pair back to


1:24

your summer


1:26

skirts and shorts


1:28

but i have it paired back keeping this


1:30

kind of chic look


1:31

to our level 99 linen trouser this is


1:34

the belle seam trouser


1:37

it actually comes in three different


1:38

colors so i've got it on in black you


1:41

can also pick it up in the white or in


1:43

the camo let me show you on the camo


1:46

it's hard to see black on camera so when


1:48

it's called the seam trouser there is a


1:50

seam going down right through the middle


1:53

which is really slimming and then you


1:55

can kind of see on me it bells out at


1:57

the bottom it's got a wide leg


1:59

and it is definitely


2:01

a little bit above the ankle i'm 5'7


2:03

again for reference


2:05

but it's great it's a little bit higher


2:07

waisted and then it has a tie so you can


2:10

kind of play where you want that tie but


2:12

talk about date night easy wear to work


2:15

lovely outfit and then just accessorize


2:18

right so i'm in these really cute schutz


2:21

sandals


2:22

i'll show you up close and personal so


2:24

you can see them


2:25

they come in two colors so obviously i


2:27

have on the neutral and again this is


2:29

the amelie


2:30

the amelie double strap heel and so


2:33

you've got this really pretty neutral a


2:35

little bit of fray there or you can get


2:37

it in the denim color so fun great


2:40

little stacked heel


2:42

especially if you want to take this from


2:44

work out to date night okay more black


2:47

and white you can't get any easier than


2:49

a simple


2:50

light summer white dress i love white


2:53

with a little bit of a you know faux


2:55

color


2:57

so beautiful for all different skin


2:59

types


3:00

this one is by splendid this is the


3:03

tawny


3:04

and when i say easy it truly truly is


3:07

easy it has pockets it feels like you're


3:09

wearing a little slip dress don't worry


3:12

i know most women in the fitting room


3:13

when they get on white are worried about


3:15

a lining this has a very


3:17

easy thin lining to it but it covers


3:20

everything don't worry that you want it


3:23

to cover


3:24

and again fun little pockets this would


3:27

be a great little i know i have a couple


3:29

graduations coming up that i need to go


3:31

to this would be a great little


3:32

graduation dress


3:34

something to throw in on vacation for an


3:37

easy dinner out


3:39

again 5'7 for reference it's a couple


3:41

inches above the knee i'd say a little


3:43

bit longer actually than most of our


3:45

shorter dresses and then i really like


3:47

it paired back to a little bit of a heel


3:50

so this is corkies


3:52

let me show you up close and personal so


3:55

this is the drew so there's all these


3:57

fun kind of 70s inspired inspirations


4:00

that are coming out in fashion right now


4:01

and in footwear as well


4:03

and so cork ease has this great little


4:05

drew heel you can see the wood in the


4:08

stacked heels the studs here and this is


4:11

kind of a it's not a shiny leather i


4:13

really like that about it it's kind of a


4:15

muted out leather


4:17

um


4:18

really fun really easy and comfortable


4:20

to wear


4:22

and it just has that great little 70s


4:24

vibe which sticking with the 70s vibe i


4:26

did this little


4:27

paris raffia statement earring


4:30

it is just tan neutral braided very


4:33

light to wear i know sometimes women are


4:34

afraid of statement earrings because


4:36

they're a little heavy this is


4:37

incredibly like paper light weight


4:40

so between just the neutral of this


4:41

earring


4:42

great white dress pair it with a heel


4:45

and i think it'll get you through all


4:46

your summer occasions okay more black


4:49

and white looks for you taking it back


4:50

to denim how to take your black and


4:52

white back to denim i i tell you what


4:55

nothing is making me happier in fashion


4:56

right now than these 70s vibes they're


4:59

uh definitely speaking to the boho style


5:03

aesthetic in me and you will find me


5:05

today um in a little kind of retro


5:08

peasant top wide leg denim and a little


5:11

70 inspired heel i'm gonna be in this as


5:14

long as i can until it gets too hot in


5:16

the summer to wear it so let me tell you


5:17

about this look this little blouse is by


5:19

sanctuary so it is really black and


5:21

white


5:22

but it is called the don't forget me


5:25

blouse and then the print is called mint


5:28

spritz so it really is black and white


5:30

but i don't know if this is hard to see


5:31

on camera or not but it's got a little


5:33

bit of just a mint into the floral


5:36

which is really pretty and very subtle


5:40

and this blouse has a little bit of sexy


5:42

so there's little eyelets that run


5:44

through it it opens up you've got the


5:46

draw the little strings here that you


5:47

can just wear open again kind of opens
