Black is just so easy to wear, right? It's easy to match too, especially if it's with more black. That's probably a pretty lazy way to put together an outfit. π I remember being SO paranoid about wearing black and brown together. An outfit with black shoes and a brown belt or purse was a big no-no. And although I don't really seek out outfits featuring black and brown, I certainly don't shy away from them anymore. What about you? Do you care? Not care? Never wear anything other than blue anyway so the point's moot?

I don’t really like wearing black because I’m so pale it makes me look plain sick… But I’ll admit I’m jealous of you girls because you definitely rock the black! I tend to avoid black and brown because both are “basics” to me, but maybe one day…
I wear a lot…maybe even too much black on a weekly basis. What a fun way to jazz it up!
Black is the easiest colour to wear- it suits everyone!!

I love Emma’s dress (such a gorgeous print) and Elsie’s hat! you both were able to pull off amazing outfits!

It drives me crazy when people say you can’t wear black and brown…you totally can! I do it all the time!
LOVE your skirt Elsie! So feminine yet edgy.

You guys make black look fun. I don’t ever wear black tops or anythiing that goes near my face. I’m already super pale and black makes me look even ghostlier (is that a word?). But the dress is super fun!
I prefer brown or navy blue, not black. I`m pale and I just don`t look good in black. But I love Emma`s style here! Just perfect! Dress, sandals, necklace, hair… everything! Love it!
I’m loving Elsie’s shoes and Emma’s shades!!! i wonder what life would be with a sisterβ¦ you two make it look so much fun!
Elsie I love your sunglasses! The retro icone look that it gaves you is amazing, you are gorgeous!
Love

I have a floppy hat just like that somewhere. You’ve inspired me to dig it up and incorporate it my wardrobe more. Such cute outfits! Love the casual braid π

haha I wear brown and black together all the time (except by all the time I mean when I’m not wearing a billion other colors on my body).
Black is always my go-to…it’s what I’m most comfortable in!
Love those Tumbleweed sunnies, Elsie!
These phtos are fab, love them!

I agree, black matches with everything. I find it kind of annoying when people tell me navy and black can not go together. But I guess it’s just all about personal taste!
Beautiful pictures! I “belong” to those who doesn’t own a single piece of black clothing (apart from socks…). Very often I look like a giant colour palette, but I love love love colours and made it like a small statement when I was 15 to not wear black. I’m now 26 and have succeeded very well in not wearing anything black ;o)
Lovely, really liking Elsie’s Swedish Hasbeens, I wish I found them comfortable!
I don’t really wear blank often, I love brights and interesting prints too much!

I love the pictures! I don’t know anything about photography but for some reason these seem different to me. Looks like you were having fun. I love the contrast of the dark outfits against the amazing backdrop you chose!
i like the both, but i prefer the first!!!! I like the hair, beautiful!! kiss

ooo i used to have shoes like that back in the day. love to see them back around.
Wearing black is so easy, I love it as well. As long as I don’t come across as gothic. Haha. π
Elsie, your hat is beyond perfect!
xx
Love this! both of your sunnies are so cute. Makes me want some…
I’m kind-of a new reader, I’ve taken a break for more than a year from blogging and I’m back with a fresh start and blog. I really like feel of your site! Yay!

Im SO in love with both your outfits!! I have to wear black for work so i’m always finding different ways to wear an outfit adding accessories. My style out of work is pretty lace dresses, pastel colours and vintage dresses. Black never gets old though. Its timeless as they say π

Black is definitely the new black. You gals obviously know what I mean. There’s just something so simple and classy about wearing black. You can’t go wrong!
Black and brown, and even Black and navy are things I still can’t get out of my head not to do. I don’t know why or who ingrained them there but every time I try to experiment and mix these colors into an outfit it just never looks right to me!
Ladies! I am totally loving you both in edgier looks. Those sunnies are too cute.
You gals look incredible! Also,Emma I really like love your necklace – so cute!

I wear black with everything. Even brown π
You girls look so pretty all the time. I love your look Elsie, cute but sexy, that skirt is beautiful!
You make me question whether I should dye my hair blonde or not, I love your dark hair!
GORGEOUS ! Emma’s hair is so pretty !
I love how you ladies always seem so humble. Never too cool to make a dorky face…Elsie.
Love your photography in this post! Did you use any photoshop or use each other as the photographers? Have a good weekend <33
LOVE black. Always classy. I’ve got dark hair so I love wearing earthy tones. But black can be difficult to do in the summer. You gals can definitely rock it!
I’m loving the cross dress – very cute!!
digging these all-black for summer looks!
kw ladies in navy
Haha this post made me crack up because my friend was complaining the other day about how I never wear patterns. I typically stick with grey, blue or black. But it’s only because I suck at pairing outfits! I’m working on it! π
I’m a huge fan of black when it comes to my wardrobe so I am loving this Sister Style. And I am obsessed with Elsie’s sunglasses–so cute! Thanks for sharing, as always. xx

Love those sunglasses, Elsie!
I don’t mind the brown belt with black, but I am iffy on brown shoes with black–it really depends on the show. I’m also weird about brown tops with black bottoms, unless it’s done right.
Is Emma’s love tattoo new or have I just been oblivious this whole time?
Black is a bit of a go-to for me, I’ve gotta admit. Although I have virtually NO brown in my wardrobe – grey is my staple neutral instead!
This is my favorite setting for shoots! Love the clouds!
I love wearing black-on-black, I think it’s so chic!
Xo, Hannah
You guys are adorable!! I love the backdrop, and black is such a daring color to wear in the summer π

Both are really great outfits! I love your photos π

awesomely great photos — love that effect!! how did you do it?
I have that exact same skirt! Love it! I also have the same hat, but in brown. I wonder if I can copy this look while also doing the dreaded black-brown mix. LOL.
Looking so hot in black ladies!
LOVE it! I absolutely love wearing black and this is just gorg! People who wear black lead colourful lives..
I have to admit that black in clothes is one of my favourite colours (generally I’m a big fan of colours!). I find that it makes my accessories look more bright, more vivid! And it feels safe, I feel calm when I’m in black (especially in winter. And I don’t care if something is “no-no” (except the combination of black and navy blue). If I feel that a combination feels fine, then it’s fine for me. (love Emma’s dress!!!!) xoxo from Greece
im obsessing over the wooden sunnies!

Love black, but for summer i prefer color + color!
Black is classic.. and it always will be! perfect colour! You two look very pretty! and love both of yours shades! π
I love black and brown. I love LBDs…and I pair a brown cotton spaghetti strap top with a black swingy gauzy type skirt so I guess its fine separate or together:)….Those wooden round sunglasses are just screaming at me lol—all cute looks here I must say!
I love black, its the easiest thing to wear on lazy days π But I do like to add a pop of colour so its more interesting!

Very nice!!! I love your sunglasses.

I love black and I wear it with brown boots all the time. Once when an older lady at work pointed out that I am not matching when wearing predominantly black/grey outfit with brown boots(pretty rude, I’d say), I told her this is the latest trend, to not match π
Black basics with brown accessories are my go-to! I think it tones down the black and makes it look more casual, versus pairing all black items together, which can look formal fast!
love wearing all black! love the dress with the crosses on it!
xxoo,

I love wearing black and brown together! You just have to wear it like you mean it!! I also throw in some gray as well to make it extra interesting! π Love your outfits!
I mostly wear gray (seriously, like all gray!) but I feel really put together when I wear black!
You two are adorable! I actually like medium to light brown and tan colored leather with black — especially if the browns are something natural like wiod or leather. Love it actually. I’m not sold on chocolate brown And black though.
Oh I’m completely over not mixing black and brown.
I mix the two often, but I will say at more conservative events, I will try to stick to one or the other.
Another gorgeous set of photos! Emma-love the black and gold!
I am still against the black and brown together. I just can’t get over it….it looks like you got dressed in the dark and thought you grabbed a matching piece!
I want all of your outfits! You two really have awesome fashion sense. You’re not like many who puts on a lot of accessories and stuff here and there but the way you dress really catches attention. Simple but eye-grabbing. I really like it. π

I love black & brown together! especially with some white or cream mixed in. It’s such a cozy combination…it was my favorite color pallet to wear this past winter.
What!? You girls are looking extremely gorgeous!!!
Loved the dress!

Elsie, you look goth-mazing. π Sometimes all black is just what the day calls for (but rarely in the summertime)! I LOVE black and brown together and do it purposely a lot π

Black is my favorite color and used to be the only thing I would wear. I’ve branched out and wear a lot more color now though! Black is still always a safe one for me.

Lovely photos! I was totally worried about the color mix match thing when I was younger, but now I dont care and wear what I love!
http://laviedetaylor.blogspot.com
Black and denim have been my longterm basic go-to colors. However, I love brown and dark blue, and I have no problem wearing them with black. I think brown warms the look up when you wear it with black.
I can relate. If I haven’t started reading blogs I won’t wear black and brown together. I usually do blue and brown before. Haha! Anyway, nice outfits!
Such fun pictures, even on a gloomy day!!

Nope, definitely not afraid to wear black and brown together. In fact I’m wearing a brown shirt with a black & white sweatshirt and black flip-flops right now!
