All Black

I've been getting a lot of comments from friends lately about all the black I've been wearing, but there's just something about it. It's simple, understated, effortlessly layer-able, and a fun vehicle for playing with different fabrics and materials. For example: a black sleeveless leather shift dress worn with a black long sleeved chiffon top underneath, or a pair of black patent pumps worn with black silk trousers creates a beautiful and equally interesting ensemble that is easily thrown together in minutes. Really, you just can't go wrong with black!

It's pretty amazing how just one color has the potential to produce such a variety of looks. From sophisticated to classic, all the way to downright badass, all black is my style obsession of the moment. Nonetheless, I'm headed back to sunny California soon, so maybe I should take a cue from Taylor Tomasi-Hill (pictured in the last photo) and add a little excitement with a pop of colored accessories... maybe.

Happy New Year! À bientôt!
