Its almost fall and I have winter weather clothing on the brain. I cant help but daydream about one of my favorite winter basics...Black! Black is a powerful color, it can come off as bland and boring if your ensemble is texture less or vibrant and chic if you hit the mark. There is a delicate balance when it comes to wearing black that once you have the tips will be able to walk a tight rope, it needs to have a flattering shape, movement or texture; if it has one of those then you are probably golden. One of the most important things one can pay attention to when purchasing black items is the type of wash, is it dry clean only? Can you iron it? And what type of fabric is it, the higher quality fabric the better. What you are looking for is quality that will not fade. Unless you are going for the grunge-rocker look fading is acceptable (then it should be really faded), but otherwise your nice top should retain its color if you spend a few extra dollars for quality.
Black is a color that has infinite possibilities...it can slim you down, dress you up, hide you and make you stand out if you so choose. Ever notice how fashion directors and fashion show go-ers usually wear something daring or all black? Its simple, chic and will never go out of style. So whether you are accenting with black, or using black as the base to your look, live it up and rock on! Here are some black items to hopefully inspire your fall/winter wardrobe.
Tip: When wearing all black, pay extra close attention to your make up and hair. Make sure your makeup color is spot with your skin tone and play with it your eyes or lips a little bit. All black provides a blank canvas for you to play with, don't be afraid to vamp it up!
Perfect example of texture and movement. This piece (above) is timeless and on trend at the same time with modern and soft texture.
This curly haired beauty knows how to vamp up an all black look. She finishes it off with fun hair, smokey eyes and glowing skin. Lovely!
Black nails...a major fashion trend that about 5 years ago was new, edgy and chic. Today it has become a classic look, its here to stay. Also, the perfect way to make your look a little more edgy. Dress this nail color up or down, it works either way.
You cant go wrong with black lace. Always a sexy!
Love this look. Very chic right now. Make sure your toes are freshly done, they are a major focus. In fact black toe nails might look pretty cool right about here.
Live it up my fashionable followers. I hope you have something fun planned for the holiday weekend. I hope to have some pretty fun posts for you in the next few days, so check back. Happy Saturday!
