Color is great, but sometimes basic black and white feels just right. And that's what we were looking for when we trolled the fashion blogs this week, where we found great colorless looks from Taylor Sterling of Sterling Style, Kendra Webb of Closet Confections, Lydia Okello of Style Is Style, and Jessica Wu of Fascination Drop. Check out how each blogger showed off how to style black and white below.

Blogger Taylor Sterling gives us a great twist on classic black and white with bold, colorful accessories. The magenta flower pin and bright turquoise cocktail ring add some punchy hues to a great pattern. Plus, we’re really into the how she styled her patterned romper with a slouchy sweater and soaring T-strap platforms.

Kendra describes herself as a lover of pretty dresses on her blog's profile, and we can see that it's true with her black-and-white tribal skirt from Forever 21. This New York based-blogger finished the look with a simple black top (also from Forever 21) trimmed with white chiffon rosettes, a gold necklace, and peep-toe Mary-Jane pumps. The whole look is comfortable and chic.

We’re loving the vintage style-top that Canadian blogger Lydia chose to pair with a ballerina-esque wispy white skirt (if it was a tutu we would be beside ourselves!). The polka-dot pattern and sheer collar with lace detailing are our favorite parts of this look, and her attention to accessories like white-trimmed black Mary-Janes, a white belt, and summery wreath-like headband pull this whole look together perfectly.

Jessica blogs from Newport Beach, California, and we're loving how her style goes against all the California-girl stereotypes. She pulled her white blouse and black sunglasses from her mom's closet (how thrifty!) and tucked her top into a pair of tight black leggings with zippers near the ankles, which she got from Walmart (how cool?!). Then, for a hint of designer fashion, she finished the outfit by sliding into a pair of vintage Salvatore Ferragamo flats (also from her mom). It pays to look at your family's closets!
The lesson here? If you’re not wearing color, it’s all about the details.
