I like the color black and enjoy the versatility and practicality of it, but I do think that with my features, I have darker tan skin, it can sometimes highlight my dark circles around my eyes. Colors, or atleast a burst of color here and there tend to change my mood and make me feel more cheerful (It might just be me.) Great post, and stylish conversation!

All black makes me feel like a mime. I had on black skinny jeans the other day and a black long sleeve layering shirt, with a colored sweater on top. I was going to a party. I thought to myself, “I hope it’s not hot inside at the party because if I take off my sweater I will look silly.” I had on black sock and flats, too. :)

I can’t believe I recognized them, but I totally did:

I do enjoy black, but 98% of my closet is grey and navy. I love the combo of the two :)

I love all black, or mostly black outfits. Especially in Winter. I do look best in a jewel tones, so I like to add a bold scarf or hat or coat. I feel put together, slim, polished, and everything coordinates.

I’m wearing all black right now. It’s part of my birthright, as a New Yorker, I think. I love it and it’s so easy. I think that others can view it as severe. I do it with fun accessories, and that helps. :)

I’ve been wearing all black for the last… 16 years and love it. Sometimes I’m asked to show my closest…and surprise it’s all black! I feel good in it + comfortable and I’m quite a happy person!

I LOVE wearing all black. I think it has a very understated beauty.

“Women think of all colors except the absence of color. I have said that black has it all. White too. Their beauty is absolute. It is the perfect harmony.” Beautifully said by Coco Chanel. I believe in that too.

Oh I think that’s so true. Geography has such an affect on the colors that appeal to me.

Please tell me you worked at Takashimaya! It was my very favorite store in all of New York. I cried when they closed the doors.

in the UK groups of women of a ‘certain age’ get together and all wear purple and red and go on wild days out, inspired by the poem you mention!! It’s such a great idea and certainly no all black outfits allowed…I wear black most days though!

I love all black. It looks so polished and chic. That may be the New Yorker in me. :)

Funny to read it today. Right now I’m wearing a black shirt with jeans and a orange slipper! Yes, I love the “all black” style: it’s chic and helpful when we stay out all day long. And you know what? I just feel me as Audrey Hepburn when I’m with a black dress and black flats! It’s classic. But sometimes – specially when I’m feeling blue – I have to add some colour in my black style.

I’m a big fan of a bright handbag with a black outfit. In fact, for all the hand bags I have in my closet not a single one of them is black. I can only remember ever owning one black handbag and that was back in the early 90′s! I keep thinking I should get a black bag as it will be practical and go with everything but seeing as I mostly wear all black I probably don’t really need one. Although a girl can never have too many handbags…

I tend to find myself wearing all black a lot of the time. Might be a hang over from my “gothically inclined” youth back in the olden days ;)
I do like to add a little touch of colour though: a bright scarf, purple shoes, red lipstick, patterned jacket, red handbag… Ok, so not all of those things at once! Black is such a good base and is an easy colour to wear for so many occasions. When I’m not wearing all black I tend to wear stripes (mostly navy and white). I must be wearing stripes a lot lately as the kids in my daughter’s kindergarten class keep asking me why I wear stripes all the time!

I like that you’re wearing black in your profile pic ;)

I don’t do all black. Heck, I barely do black at all. Most of that time, I don’t feel like it suits me, or else it’s too harsh. Besides, color is just too much fun!

On an amusing note… a former co-worker used to refer to her all black days as wearing her “Princess of Darkness” outfit. It was totally awesome! We would laugh and declare it was the perfect day to be cranky, or crabby, or to rain down on some un-performing vendor who was missing dates. :)
