Its official I am jumping on the black bandwagon! I have long distanced myself from the ominous color for fear of falling victim to its ability to steal one's love of other colors. In my opinion black is chic, but all too often people rely on the color like a crutch for their own unimaginative style. Black seemed unoriginal and lack innovation..or so I thought...
I recently started contemplating my look for this upcoming fall and winter and all I could think was black on black on black attack! I decided I want to stick to simple silhouettes with layers of black intermingled with neutrals including olive green, navy and charcoal to create a simple yet comprehensive look. Imagine tomboy chic with a hint of leather.
Now just because I'm going black does not mean that I will turn into a black shapeless blob! I am going to consciously work on layering a variety of textures and add hints of color through details, accessories and make-up.

I love the idea of mixing coated denim with linen shirts, silk blouses, wool blazers. To break up the color and be true to myself I will probably break up the color with a patterned belt or colorful scarf.
How do you wear your black? Are you a fan of the black band wagon or not?
