When I wear black and white, I tend to go all the way, right down to the sandals. Here's what I wore for a casual stroll along Charles Street (and some pastry-stalking at Tatte bakery).

When it comes to cut-offs, I'm more into crop tops than daisy dukes. 6-pack or not (not), a beautifully structured high-waisted skirt and a crop top are the perfect pair.

I may not be running in the Boston Marathon this coming Monday (or, ever...) but I can definitely suit up in my finest workout gear for some oh-so-satisfying exercise (and city-gazing) around my neighborhood in the meantime.
