Black romance

A quick peep into my wardrobe, it's obvious that I'm a fan of dark colours. For this month's romantic outfit challenge, I naturally did a dark version to exploit what I have in my wardrobe. Here's what I put together - a black skirt on black skirt with black shoes.

The skirt and shoes were precious finds from a vintage shop in Iceland. Hubby and I were really hesitant initially about having these shoes up on our white sofa for the photo shoot. Ha I ended up having to wash the sofa covers this morning! Oh well, all for art and fashion.
This lovely bowtie is a Christmas gift handmade with love by Ashley! I think it breaks the monochromic look and really completes this romantic outfit. She has a tutorial on how to make this pretty bowtie and you can check it out here.
Black lace shirt: Monki
Skirt and boots: Vintage
Bowtie: Gift from Ashley
Off white socks with lace trims: Cubus

And I finally succumb to overpowering temptation of Lookbook. It took yours truly such a long while to join Lookbook because I didn't want to divide my time to another website which needed attention. But since I have been stalking many really cool lookbookers for some time + I have some outfit photos to share + it's nice to make new friends, so I'm in it now!

    1. Hey thank you for such a sweet comment! These photos were taken at home. My hubby took them for me with the help of some basic studio lighting equipments: flash and softbox. LOL I'm actually on my home sofa.

    These photos are gorgeous! I love the soft, pretty lighting. And you can never go wrong with all black; it's the epitome of classy. I especially love the lace.
