♥ Black Cardigan: Penneys ♥ Black Dress: Old Navy ♥ Purple and Black Houndstooth Tights: Penneys ♥ Black Booties: M&S ♥ Necklace: Gift from husband, Spitafields Market ♥ Black Sash: Discovered in my drawer ♥

So, it’s pretty hard to photograph black-on-black in low light (any tips?). So I’ll use my descriptive powers: Wearing my obligatory black jersey knit LBD and new long black cardi with a little satin sash tied in a bow along the waistband. One of my favourite pieces of jewelry, a gift from my lovely husband, around the neck. On the legs, great new purple and black houndstooth tights.

These tights are pretty cute and add a subtle sass to a conservative work outfit. They’re really soft too.

Isn’t this pendant amazing! My hubby picked it up at the Spitafields Market in London. He knows me so well. I love the tear-drop shape and the unusual marcasite design.
