I generally array myself in bright hues and floral patterns, but for the last few years a conscious effort has been made to incorporate basic and neutral colors into my wardrobe. For instance, the color black. For years I did not even own a piece of black clothing. Gradually and selectively things have changed.
For me, the key to happily wearing the color black lies in the details (example here).
This dress has a fabulous tiered ruffle collar and delicate pleating slightly under the bust area.
I was officially won over because of the wonderful relaxed jersey-like fabric that seems to drape and hang almost effortlessly.
Being the lover of vintage style and hats that I am, it seemed only fitting that I add a simple wide brim black vintage hat. I kept this look simple, adding a small black handbag and comfortable black sandals.
That concludes today's post! Please do tell, how do you wear the color black?
