A Color Story: Jet Black

A Color Story: Jet Black by leahla featuring a black skirt

Black is both one of my favorite and least favorite colors. As one of the basic colors, black it is able to be dressed either up or down very, very simply. You can wear a complete black on black ensemble or keep it very minimal in what you wear. Black is a classic color that goes with anything and everything. For a full on black outfit it can be very glamorous, sexy, edgy, gothic, cool, chic and so much more depending on how you style your look. To not look like you are being swallowed by a giant black hole of fabric, mix your look up by adding different textures, prints, patterns and proportions to your outfit. 

The reason why it is also one of my least favorite colors is because black it too black. How can that be? Its such a classic and simple color that has a multitude of different ways to be used. I think it is because it is a very dark color and I enjoy happy, bright, radient colors that capture my personality more because I am a very bubbly person.

For this set I created it all with pieces I have been lusting over for quite sometime now. *Sigh*

A girl can dream...

More next week!

A Color Story: Leafy Greens

A Color Story: Leafy Greens by leahla featuring a pink nail polish

For this months color story, I wanted to try something a bit different. Focus on a main color (in this case green) pair it with a texture, pattern, cut, etc, and create an outfit out of it. Since there are so many variations and colors of the spectrum, I thought this would be a good idea, and frankly, it went well...otherwise this would not have been posted. Recently I have been obsessing over the idea of short matching suits and flat forms. The suits are so different compared to wearing jeans and a tee or a dress. In their own way they are bold and fresh, they are surprising. Flatforms are something I am starting to warm up to because they are like heels but don't give you any pain, at least I suspect they don't.  The whole look it so trendy, a new catch phrase of mine. Hopefully it wont be like fetch in Mean Girls and people might actually start using it. Ha! Thats all for now! Have a good week!
