Black, White and Blue

As the underlying minimalist trend continues into the Pre-Fall runways, we are seeing less prints and a lot more neutral color combinations with just a hint of color.  One particularly strong and prevalent color was deep, royal blue.

This beautiful blue was seen in combination with black and white all over the runways, proving how chic the classic combination of black and blue really can be:

Michael Kors

Miu Miu

Versace

Yves Saint Laurent

Inspired by this color combination, I realized I had a top that would make the upcoming trend wearable now!  Here's my take on black, white and just a hint of blue for Spring and Summer:

Forever 21 white jeans - FC ($10)
Michael Kors silk tank - FC ($18)
Express boyfriend cardi - FC ($7.50)
Frye black patent wedges - FC ($22)

Add just a touch of blue to your black and white ensemble with any of these affordable finds! (all $50 or less-click on any image to go directly to the website)
