Black as Pitch

Now that I'm pretending to be a tough girl I feel the need for a tough girl pair of sandals for summer. I have never owned black sandals other than flip flops as I feel they are too brutal and harsh for summer. But with my pared down look that I am attempting to pull together I really want a pair and quite fancy this pair from All Saints.

What is even weirder though, is that I am also thinking about a black handbag from them too. And that just seems to be going against everything I believe in in terms of seasonal fashion.

But if I base my summer wardrobe around black and white with the occasional pop of colour, particularly if it is neon, then I think it just might work. Would you agree or am I off the mark?
