Although we’ve been blessed in Chicago to have had a record-breaking mild winter this year, Spring is not completely here yet guys so don’t put away your jackets and sweaters just yet! It’s all about layers, layers, layers when the weather is 70 degrees and sunny one minute then cold, rainy and 50 degrees all in one day!

I’m a huge fan of colors in my wardrobe, but anything black will always be a classic fashion staple! Black is super versatile and can be paired up with awesome accessories to complete any look. You can literally transform your wardrobe in multiple ways…glam it up, pair it down for a more casual look…anything goes with black!

This winter I did a fun photo shoot around town with my talented friend and photographer Elaine Villaflores. Here’s a sampling of how great black can be! ENJOY!!!!
