When I was getting ready to move to South Dakota to go to school, my aunt took me shopping, and bought me clothes. She told me of the “little black dress” that every woman should have, I’d never heard of it before. She bought me one, and it’s fabulous, sleek, sexy and perfect for any occasion!
Great post Kerry!!

Thanks for writing in Jill-Anne. And yes, what would life be without the Little Black Dress?

Just surfing and I saw this article. Dad used to say to me as a teenager “what are you, some Portuguese grandmother in mourning?”, when he started to notice that I had taken a turn to the dark side…yes, I was an angst-ridden, Cure/Joy Division/ Smiths -worshipping depressed teen, but at the same time, I felt strong and sexy and beautiful in my black. It isn’t everyone that can wear it and look GOOD! Even as an adult, it is my favourite non-colour, and though summer heat and humidity make me imagine I am in the tropics somewhere, and therefore feel compelled to “lighten up” in floaty marine blue batik inspired dresses, I still always return to my comfort zone:the little black dress! You can never have too many!!

Hear hear! I’m sitting here in a black cashmere cardigan with my jeans – it’s kind of a uniform, jeans and a black top of one kind or another. It’s … just … me.

Wonderfully expressed Kerry! Black is the New Black. As it happens just last Saturday, in my recovering from an illness haze, I spotted a sweet little black dress in the window. Tried it on and immediately felt better.

Hey,

Good article. However, I wouldn’t consider Beaudelaire to be big on fashion. I wear black because it doesn’t show the dirt too quickly.
I think your a flower.

My excuse for wearing so much black has always been cost. Black goes with everything. Why spend money on a piece that I can only wear with a certain pair of pants or shoes? When you’re working with a small wardrobe, best to keep it simple.
