Today I wanted to share a black + wood look I’ve been loving lately. Photos are by the always amazing and incredibly talented Ashley Nicole Photography.
It’s office attire meets summer casual and I kind of love it.
If I can’t be in a dress this time of year then I want to be in a skirt.
My outfit was inspired by this beautiful watch. I love how it effortlessly mixes black + wood.
Jord Watches reached out to me asking if I wanted to review one of their watches on my blog. They’re a watch company that started in St. Louis (yay Midwest!) and makes the absolute prettiest wood watches.
I picked out this beautiful Fieldcrest watch. It’s lightweight, well constructed, and absolutely stunning. I get so many compliments on it when I wear it out. People are amazed that it is wood.

These Ivanka Trump sandals really help pull the look together. I’m in love with their black leather + wood heel look. They’re on sale for $40 but are only available in a few sizes. I wanted to offer more options for you guys so I rounded up some of my favorite black + wood shoes from around the web.
Questions of the Day: Would you wear a wood watch? What’s your favorite pair of shoes from the options above? How do you feel about wood heels?

Carrie @ Curly Crafty Mom says
I recently did a post on black and tan! I love this outfit and that watch is GORGEOUS. I chose a lighter wood for my JORD watch, but I think going into the Fall the darker stain is going to look awesome! I really need to get a tan skirt like yours, it would go with so much in my closet.
