What it is: Printed sleeveless blouse, $35, Smart Set
How to wear it: Sporting one of spring's hottest colour combinations - black and white - is a cinch with this chic blouse from Smart Set. With pearly white buttons, a crisp collar and fitted front darts, the graphic top adds instant sophistication with just a touch of sass. Wear it to work with a pencil skirt, blazer and kitten heels. Later, wear for post-work drinks but make it saucy with a sparkly necklace, a pair of stilettos and a bold red lip.
Why I love it: The black and white trend is right inside my colour comfort zone. I am wearing it out on the town with dark jeans, patent pumps and a black tuxedo blazer but can't wait to wear it casually with white pants, a long strand of pearls and some oversized black shades when spring is in bloom!
