More great looks from the 2010 resort collections. Black and white is always an easy look to pull together for an 'instantly classic" look. Michael Kors is leading the charge with his black and white cheetah print tops and dresses......I'm also lovin the Just Cavalli black and white one shoulder dress over skinny jeans; The print really does it for me. Not to be forgotten are the very ladylike pieces from Oscar de la renta.....the embroidered top and the black skirt accented with a large rose are a true hit. Let's face it, I'm that person who appreciates "extra stuff" on her clothes.
