Color Palette: Blackout + Meringue

Because I just can’t give up on a good thing until I’ve gone and completely burned myself out on it (salads, I’m looking at you right now), today we’re going back to my obsession with black and white for a moment. Specifically, a color palette that is both a perfectly elegant way to kick off Halloween week and an ode to old school glamor. My intention was to go with the typical spooky Halloween palette (like this one and this one from years past), but somehow we ended up with something completely chic instead. Not that I’m complaining, because I’m kind of crazy about this glam vibe at the moment. By the way I should probably disclose that I utilize far more brain cells than is even remotely acceptable thinking about color palettes. This is normal, right?
