my blog is strictly personal opinion & never intended to offend anyone. that being said, i'm so over black being equated with formal. i know that every girl has at least one little black dress in her closet. i'm just as guilty and have at least 3. i don't regret those purchases one bit & i love them each and every one. however, i L-O-V-E color! it seems that every party, wedding or formal event i attend is drenched in little black dresses.
sometimes i think women lean towards black because of it's slimming effect or because it's a "safe" choice. an issue with this time of year is that so many people associate winter with dark colors. i completely disagree. wearing something bright & colorful instead of black makes you forget about the dreary weather outside (even if it is a hot 70 degrees in january). as long as the fabric is right for winter you can dress happy with a burst of color.
with all of that being said, maybe i'm just bitter because black isn't really "my color". i just think there are so many wonderful alternatives to a little black dress. i'm always a huge fan of wearing colors that "work". for instance, i always try to determine what someone's best color options are by checking out their eye color and then hair color and skin tone. there's nothing better than someone wearing a rich green or striking blue and seeing their eyes just pop. i'm partial to vibrant colors & taking chances. however, if you're hesitant to go bold, why not change it up a little with grey, brown or even navy?
either way, wouldn't it be fantastic to add even the teensiest rainbow of color to everyone's wardrobe?!
