Sometimes there are days when wearing all Black is just what you need…
I added a pop of bright Pink to my lips, but other than that, the entire outfit was Black. As you can see, although it was all Black, it most definitely wasn’t plain or boring. In fact, I think sometimes it is really classy and sophisticated to pull off an outfit like this. The cut of the skirt, along with the ruffled top, Black opaque tights and Suede Booties is a winning combination.
Don’t get caught up in wearing things that you think you should wear or what you think others might like, dress for yourself, be yourself, love yourself…let that confidence and certainty in yourself shine through in everything that you do. Which means picking out your outfit is only a small part of that, but it is something that will set the tone for your entire day. I know for a fact, when I feel like I look amazing, I am going to perform and react a lot better than if I feel uncertain about my outfit or even my hair.
We all have bad hair days, we all have not so great outfit days, that’s why I always have a few outfits that are back-ups, which means that I can fall back on these outfits on days where I know I need to look my best. It is something that isn’t thought about much, but it is always a great idea to have a few outfits ready to go in your closet just in case you need them! Choose things that flatter your body, your coloring and boost your confidence. I have talked in previous posts how certain colors can evoke certain feelings…there are always colors that you are more in tune with than others, I am drawn to Red and when I want to feel really sassy, powerful and confident, that is always the color I am drawn to first. Do you have a color that makes you feel most confident? If you do, make sure you have something in that color that is a standby just in case you need it.
Johnny Cash was always known for wearing all Black – during his era people thought it a little strange. These days it is not so unusual, but still not something that everyone likes to do, and that is totally fine. Outfits that incorporate all of the same colors, or closely similar colors are becoming more and more popular – I love the idea of wearing all Beige or all White, to me that is classy.
This is just one more way for you to put your unique style stamp on what you wear and how you present yourself…have fun on your style journey and don’t be afraid to try new things!
