There is a lack of color here

As some may or may not know, I'm terrified of color. And this as thus translated into all aspects of my life. Examples: my wedding was black and white, my car is black, when we do laundry our biggest load is blacks, i have numerous "little black dresses", my phone is black, before the current one, all my purses had been black, most of the things in my house are black at an attempt for a "modern" look, I even prefer black pens over blue ones. But most of all, this translates down into the clothes I wear. When I go clothing shopping, for some reason, every shirt, skirt, pair of shoes, jacket, sweater, ect all just look better in black. In all honesty, I will pick out one shirt I really like and buy it, but if I was to see that same shirt in color on the rack, I wouldn't like it. And I'm sorry to people who own cars of color, but a freshly painted or washed/waxed black car, looks better than any other car out there on the road. No doubt about it.

I have linked this interesting fact in my life to a couple main factors. 1. My mom always wore black, she just always felt it was classy. 2. I watched a lottt of black and white movies growing up, thus all those Audrey Hepburn and Rita Hayworth outfits I adored were in black or shades of black. 3. I feel color washes people out. For some reason everyone always looks more attractive in a black shirt, as opposed to a red or orange shirt, or any other color really. That black shirt just helps make the look a little more sharp and crisp in my eyes.

If one was to see my wardrobe closet, it pretty much consists of all neutrals. Black (ofcourse), white, brown, gray and a few various shades of these. This is for another reason. You can accessorize magnificently with such colors. You really can just go all out in other ways. By keeping it low with a black shirt, you can wear a hat, scarf, some jewlery, a green skirt and it just looks good, no matter what. The thought of wearing all color and not one of these neutrals makes me panicky. All day long, I constantly feel as though I am scaring people with the radiant amount of color and light beeming forth from me. As is, I must deal with pale skin, but to top it off with copious amounts of color.... no thank you.

Take for instance this picture of me at the International Convention in June of this year. I was nervous with this outfit all day long, not to mention uncomfortable. But don't worry, I made up for it the very next day with an all black ensemble, which I felt was ravishing.

One last thought, with jeans pretty much any colored shirt is acceptable, but even then a black shirt looks better. Despite all of this please be assured, what I lack in colorful clothing, I make up for with a colorful persona, or at least I try. In fact, this blog template itself is a bit too colorful for me, I think I will probably end up changing it.

Things just look more classy, sheik and clean in a clear coat of black.
