Weekend Wardrobe: Adding to a Basic Black and White 4x4 Wardrobe for the Holidays, Part One


Here is our basic black and white 4x4 wardrobe once again, which is perfectly functional but not very festive for those special holiday occasions.  So let's add just a few pieces to add some pizzazz for party time!  I found some fun velvet leggings in four different colors that became my starting point for four different wardrobe additions, two of which I will present today.  First, for anyone who wishes to stick with just the black and white color scheme, I selected the following six items, including the leggings in a color called Black Magic:

Clockwise from top left: Acne Studios Raya Wool and Mohair-Blend Cardigan in Black;  Martin Azua 47 Birds Scarf; Equipment Women's Essential Silk Blouse in White; Monki Velvet Leggings in Black Magic; Banana Republic Lightweight Wool Midi Pencil Skirt in Black; J. Crew Tippi Sweater in Cat Print (no longer available).

Mix and match these six pieces, or combine them with apparel and/or accessories from the 4x4 wardrobe to create stylish outfits for gala occasions.  Here is just one example of a complete look:


Now let's add some color to this collection!  The velvet leggings are available in a lovely shade of green called Green Forest, so let's introduce this holiday hue:

Clockwise from top left: Burberry Women's Silk Shirt in Floral Print; Golden Goose Women's Deluxe Brand Chicago Shirt in Emerald Green; Monki Velvet Leggings in Green Forest; Fancy Sheen Quilted Velvet Skirt in Dark Green; Center: Reggiani Blazer in Emerald Green.

And here is a sample wardrobe for a festive affair:

Next week I will put together two more sets of holiday apparel based upon the velvet leggings in two other colors.  I hope you are enjoying the holiday season!
