Go chic or go and visit a funeral. Growing up I remember seeing old ladies who only wore black and did nothing more than go to funerals to pray. They were always mourning someone even if it was someone they didn’t really know. For me black has been a color associated with mourning and I literally feel heavy when dressed in black. When there is absolutely nothing for me to wear I would go for black usually because you don’t really distinguish one black outfit from the other, but Friends and family tend to compliment me on when “I have nothing else to wear” occurs. I did some search and concluded that the best way to wear an all-black outfit should be in a chic modern way. No matchy matchy suits or too formal outfits. All these ladies are inspiring me to see black clothes in a completely different way.

I used to wear black ALL the time in my corporate days. Today, hardly at all but I still love it for evening fun.
And I never mix black. It is all or nothing.
Love to you. Miss you.

I have to admit that I like wearing an all-black outfit from time to time. But in order to be chic, not monotonous, I always try to give it a twist: maybe a beautiful texture or a detail on one of the garments, or a pop of color, be it a bag or the shoes, or a thin belt in a different color.
