The color Black has a Power that I like to call … “Accidental Sophistication.”

It can declare to the world, “I am Type A, Fear me!” or … “I just stepped off the runway and would rather not be noticed, thank you.”

The rules of dressing in All Black are not too lengthy, making this concept one to be fashionably cherished for everyday styling …

Tip 1: Wearing ALL BLACK is a chic statement of simplicity… not a announcement to a judging world that you could not find anything else to wear! Whether you have a draped black top or a regular old V-neck T-shirt, combine it with a black blazer… or better yet, a leather jacket …, your favorite pair of skinny jeans, slap on a pair of black boots and get on with your busy day prepared for the paparazzi at a moments notice!

Tip 2: For your daytime black apparel, make sure to use a lighter lip gloss and for nighttime socializing use a lipstick a shade or two deeper … (pair your black attire with bold red lips to be Seasonally Spectacular).

Tip 3: Got a weekend getaway coming up? Black is the perfect packing companion for those quick out of town trips when you have no space and no time to come up with a unique outfit for each day’s events. Black does it all, daytime or evening, black is the easiest color to wear and then re-wear… match and then rematch… I am convinced that “Black” is God’s gift to the busy fashionista and was made to make life uncomplicated. Don’t spend your trip thinking about what to put on! Just throw three black tops, one pair of black jeans, black boots and a black leather jacket into a suitcase with one “statement color piece” and hit the town!

Tip 4: Let your jewelry do the talking! Get a little crazy with your Black Attire by utilizing your most brilliant jewelry! Wear your favorite diamond studs, your silver wristwatch or your dazzling bangles to make your understated raiment stand out!
Remember: If you have a wedding coming up this Winter, the ALL BLACK rule does not apply unless the wedding begins at 5:00 PM or later…

Don’t be “That Girl …”

Catch the Wave,
