Endnotes:

It may not look like it, but this is neutrals with a pop, since I am wearing black, white, and fuschia. Initially, I thought the fuschia would add a burst of color to a simple black-and-white outfit, but I think the white belt upstages this skirt. So although we’re considering white a neutral, it seems like it’s the one providing the ‘pop’. Oh, those brazen neutrals, they don’t cease to amaze. That is what I’m learning this week.

So I really wasn’t trying to cheat the neutrals challenge, at least not for the indoor version of this look. The outdoor version, now that’s a whole different story…. -S.

I adore fuschia and black. And agree that the white belt stole the spotlight here!
