I was just wondering what you girls thought about wearing solid black ... I hear so many girls say they love it because it's sophisticated or slimming or whatever, but then all the makeover TV shows I watch say you should avoid solid black (at least on most days) and wear more color!
I've always thought wearing solid black was boring and depressing, made me think I was going to a funeral or that I was trying to be a wallflower
But the other day, I wore a black shirt and black pants for the first time in my life to work, mainly because I have a limited number of short-sleeve shirts appropriate for the office and it was hot outside! Even then it wasn't solid black -- the pants had white pinstripes, and I wore sandals to show off my red toenails, and colored jewelry and colored eye mu to add some color to my outfit.... Yet I never really felt comfortable in the outfit, and when I walked into the office one of my (male) coworkers exclaimed, "Woah there, Johnny Cash!" and thought it was weird I was wearing all black. But then that night my husband says he likes me in solid black...
But I just never liked it, and I think with my pale skin I look better with some color, since my skin certainly doesn't have any color of its own
I think I will stick to my normal work outfits of a bright (or sometimes pastel) colored top and neutral pants...
But what are your thoughts on solid black? I think it looks good on some people, but I just can't feel confident wearing it! Even if I was going to a fancy party or something, I'd rather wear a sexy little turquoise dress or something instead of a sexy little black dress!
