Ironically, I wore crazy colors when I was a dark and brooding college student, but now that I am an occasionally cheerful adult, I wear only very dark colors. I still have vivid flashbacks from a few classics--a Kenzo lime-green shirt with a clown color in corduroy (Why corduroy? The world may never know...) that gave me an "other-wordly glow"... the bright orange linen "job interview" pantsuit from a trendy Harvard Square boutique that made me look like an unemployable carrot! Yikes! Thanks for the kind words! Take care!

But she says everything matches and she always looks great. This means she can really does invest in some quality stuff.<br /><br />I had my colors done years ago and was told that because of my blonde hair, etc., I was a "Spring" and should wear pastels and never, ever black. I got rid of all my black things. And guess what, over the years, black found its way back into my closet, lots and lots of it. And I think I look great. <br /><br />By the way, I love the name of your blog.

I am from the East Coast, where dark colors are worn day and night... if for no other reason than to camouflage coffee stains from drinking caffeine on a bumpy subway ride. Black is also very slimming--especially with my strategy of standing near dark furniture in rooms with "mood lighting" :). Thanks for visiting my blog!

I love black, and living in Melbourne, Australia, if you go out at night wearing anything other than black you'll feel out of place. You should visit, you'd fit right in!Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05136899816714134128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752135416037287965.post-88228774192413941862010-12-10T04:56:41.108-08:002010-12-10T04:56:41.108-08:00Hi Doug!

Unfortunately, it was a turtleneck and my son wouldn't wear it. But loved the idea of my offspring in black, maybe holding a Nietzsche boardbook and smoking a Gauloise...... Take care!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01183483875942755726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6752135416037287965.post-73250575041228747082010-12-09T23:29:06.921-08:002010-12-09T23:29:06.921-08:00Very goth of you.
