Black & White Peacock

Last month I donned this tunic as a dress for a casual Sunday with the baby in this post. Here, it's another take on the dress-over-pants trend that I finally embraced after well over a year in posts here, here, and here. And, it's really all about the tunic in this outfit. The half-tuck creates an interesting silhouette, the print is a fresh take on the black-and-white color combo, and while yes the necklace and loafers are fun, it's the peacocks that grab the eye. 

In terms of office/work wear this is really a fairly standard outfit when broken down. You have trousers, loafers, a blazer, and a button-down. But, with the two-tone shoes, crisp blazer, well-fitting pants and the "alternate" tunic/dress as shirt a more stylish and edgy outfit emerges. Wow, things are getting a bit mystical, no?
