Black On Black Fashion Glamor
October 12, 2009
Black- the classic fashion color for an elegant look. It is complimenting and offers multiple style options- even with the same garments given to a number of people. Each person will wear it differently and give it a new feel. So with winter giving me another chance to play, I decided to go with the black on black layering technique.
Since it is cool, layers are required (especially with my clothes, lol). A long sleeve black shirt and black tights make the foundation- from those two form fitting items, I am able to play with shape and color if I so choose to. Since I am going with black on black, shape is what counts here.
I have this floppy, cozy, sweater-like dress that was just begging to be worn. But with it’s short length and short sleeves, it requires company if it wants to actually be warm. Perfect- just the ingredient I was looking for. Now for some fun with the accessories:
When it is cool outside, I love wearing my bracelets over my long sleeves. Something about it makes them pop, especially when it is silver on black. But even the black on black stands out, the shine from the gems are a subtle and elegant touch. And with a ring to match- beautiful!
Now, because I didn’t want to be completely in black and lost in the shadows… I wanted something to really just pop. What stands out against black more than white, and with yesterday’s theme still fresh in my mind, I knew just the shoes to do it.
I’ve posted about these shoes before, and yet almost had forgotten I had them! Ack, I know.. but they are brand new to me again since finding them, lol. You can see more photos of the shoes from my previous post here: click to view the shoes
Black on black glamor- I’m going to say it’s a fabulous do ;D
Cute shoes! And I love your idea of wearing a bracelet over a long sleeve – it’s subtle and elegant.
I really like the way the White tones of your Dizzy Shoes subtly tend to sublimate your “Total Black look’s High content of Bewitchment” (especially with stratospheric legs like yours !!!), AND the way it creates a Stunning aesthetic symbiosis with your fringed Goddess mane . . .

How much money can you make until you have to start paying taxes?
I just absolutely love your taste in both food and clothing! I also had to admire how happy and excited you are when trying new things (you’re comments on the “gourmet food” category are detailed in such an ornated way I felt I could almost taste it
