It’s Halloween week! Today I wanted to tackle the secret to being holiday themed without looking like a pumpkin. I think we can all honestly say that sometimes it’s hard to wear black and orange together without looking a little cartoony. The key? Like most things in life, moderation. For this look, I picked a solid black base then added accents of orange for a look that isn’t too over the top. Finish off with a tomato red lipstick and you’re set for some holiday fun. You should also try to incorporate some orange in your accessories this week! Michelle is rocking an orange clutch, which perfectly pops against the black of her dress (pinkie promise we didn’t coordinate our outfits. Just great minds ya know;)). Do you have a pair of orange shoes that don’t get enough wear? Time to break those puppies out! Statement necklace? Take it out for a spin! In small doses, wearing black and orange together have you looking fun, themed, but still chic.
How do you wear orange and black but stay chic? Share with me in the comments!

How classic is this midi LBD Anna Luiza. I love it. With the pretty orange button-down layered underneath, you got Halloween’s colors down to a T. I also love how you and Michelle matched so beautifully this week. =)
Have a great Halloween! <3 Ada.
