During the summertime I’m constantly on the go. I’m actually preparing for a few trips in July and August as we speak. However, before travel season kicks off, I’ve decided to take the next few weeks to slow down a bit. Weather it’s a walk in the park, scheduling an extra massage or facial or dining lakefront for date night with hubs, I want to take some time to enjoy the weather and scenery here in Columbia (Maryland). That’s exactly what I did the evening I wore this outfit. Hubs and I headed to the Lakefront in Columbia after dinner to eat some ice cream, walk around and of course, snap outfit pics.

Whitney Nic James – Wearing All Black

Leggings: Style & Co. (Another Option) // Tunic: Sejour, Nordstrom Rack (Cute Option) // Clutch: Love, Cortnie (Same) // Flats: Aldo, Nordstrom Rack (Similar)
I decided, for the 200th time this year, to wear an all black outfit. I added my faux leather leggings due to the cooler than usual temperatures that night. Not only did I look cute, but I was also cozy and covered up. I’m also glad I wore these leggings because those mosquitoes by the lake are no joke!
You’re probably thinking, “you’re wearing all black again, Whitney?!” Well, yes…and why not? As mentioned in this post, I often gravitate to all black outfits, especially during this season where I’m building my minimal wardrobe. I always keep in mind that as long as my accessories are on point, wearing all black outfits can be exciting!

Necklace: Thrifted, Goodwill // Gold Cuff: Thrifted, 2nd Avenue // Watch: Charming Chalie (Another Option)

I agree, always so chic!
I am doing the same thing: trying to slow down and relax when I can. I too have some vacations and fun things coming up both for July and August. I love you in the whole chic black outfit. Great necklace.
Thanks for the linkup too. Always a pleasure stopping by Whitney. =)
