Paint it Black

Elizabeth and James black fur coat, my flat in london grafton flap pouch, currently crushingI have a thing for black.  Whenever I don’t know what to wear, I reach for black.  If I’m not feeling well I put on something black and I feel better.  No matter how pale I feel in the winter, I always feel brightened-up when I wear black.

Brighton My Flat in London Grafton Flap Pouch, currently crushingWhen I was younger I used to chose one basic color per season and work my wardrobe around that color.  One year I made black my Summer color and off-white my Winter color – I felt very elegantly dressed those seasons!  Nowadays I don’t pay too much attention to seasonal colors (I do follow the ‘Memorial Day to Labor Day’ rule as it pertains to shoes, though) and end up choosing clothes that make me feel good and that means a whole lot of black.
