 I'm typically a very colourful dresser but occasionally I gravitate towards the inky hue of nighttime skies.  Black is a powerful colour that many fashionistas choose as their uniform because it's sleek and slimming.  With the haunting holiday only two days away, I have decided that as my personal fashion challenge this week, I will emulate the sophistication of black cats using ebony shades from my wardrobe. 




Do you prefer wearing black or brights?

  2. I think you pull off an all-black ensemble wonderfully. To me, you still look bright and cheery as ever. I love color as well, but black is such a classic, sophisticated look to me. I love that you added little pops of brown and metallic into the look as well! A perfect addition!
