black & white with a deadly bite! top picks for my monochrome girls

We did it better. yup we did! alternative fashion always knew how black & white was the perfect mix of sleek, contrast and insanity. we always played with this monochromatic mix, and no color blocking or black & white stripe trend can take that away from us! but since it is oh so hot right now, here are some awesome little items that will keep your monochromatic style still weird but stylish!

I design alot with black and white in my line Agoraphobix , I love mixing it with a bit of color for the perfect eye catching effect, its so classy and yet playful.  you can actually pair a black and white item with your fave color -  mixed in as a pair of colored wet look leggings, a belt, or even in a detail in the design. its a fail proof schick styling option!

Check out these awesome examples from Agoraphobix, how they make things pop !

zebra varsity jacket by  by Agoraphobix

 the first is this super cute V stripe slouch top, paired with a candy apple red pair of wet look leggings and a biker jacket - so cute and perfect for spring!

this awesome fleece zebra varsity jacket has a pink zipper incorporated in the design  giving it a stand out edge that is classy and sugary sweet.






I paired this amazing zigzag stripe dress with a rainbow colored snakeskin print waist belt for a waist definition with an edge.

A really cool way of incorporating a color splash is through these sexy classy pencil skirts. they both have a changeable corset tie in the back, just pick and choose the color you want to lace through them. both the stripe & rose print are basic and can carry your wardrobe to a whole new monochromatic dimension - a play with black & white and prints.








If you feel like playing it cool all the way, and just sporting the black & white combo, you can try working it with this super sleek V stripe racer back dress,  lightweight and fun, its perfect for spring with a long cardigan over it and a little clutch.

Another cool day to day look it a little mini , like this headphone & crossbones print mini skirt. super adorable and full of attitude, I would pair it witha black t shirts, a heavy pyramid stud belt and studded combat boots.

Try going with your wilder attitude with this black leatherette circle skirt (it has pyramid studs on the front, soooo awesome!) paired again with the slouch V stripe top featured in the beginning and a pair of booties its a fun outfit for pubbing or clubbing.














biker dress by Agoraphobix


Take your inner biker chick to a whole new level with this slither sexy zebra spandex & vinyl biker dress, with biker quilt stitches on the boob cups and on the front its a perfect mixture of cool vixen and very VERY bad girl!














another cute option for a monochromatic splash is this black & white stripe and black vinyl boned corset with corset ties on the bust. try it over a simple white button down blouse and a black tie, with a pair of slinky black skinny jeans and high heels. perfection!

Im loving this amazing wide waist belt in black and white by LeatherRK. The sleek black and black & white stripe panel are a beautiful contrast to any item you put it over, and it will make your waist appear super tiny as an added bonus.
