Today’s color is a NON color!
The LBD is a staple for a reason…it WORKS!
Black is the “color” associated with elegance, prestige, formality, and on the other hand, power, death, evil, and mystery.
Black can create a sense of fear (black death), the unknown (black holes), perhaps a negative connotation (blacklist, black humor), in advertising, strength and authority (black tie, black Mercedes) and in heraldry, the symbol of grief (mirrors covered in black).
Cover yourself in black though, and you have the world at your feet, or on your back. You can offer a feeling of perspective and depth, you can make yourself immediately look thinner. You can use black to make bold accessories stand out, and hey, it goes with everything – I mean, there’s a reason most people take a look in their closets and see a sea of darkness.
However, I would advise against making everyday a black day…reach outside your comfort zone (as I have tried to over the last year or so) and consciously pick ACTUAL colors to add some personality to your life.
