0:00 [Music] 0:07 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
