black like me

big black hair, black fly jacket, black leggings and black leather boots.

black is the go-to color when you just.don’t.know.what.to.wear.

it’s almost hard to fail when you wear black. the key to black is just to make sure that your blacks match. don’t put on a black pair of leggings but a faded black tee shirt. all of your blacks should be identical/in the same family or at least look that way to the naked eye.

tip: simply lay all of your black items that you plan to wear together side by side before getting dressed and do it in bright light. what may look okay will shine like a white light in a camera flash or under restaurant lights. so even if you think you can pull of faded non-matching blacks at night, think again.

to top it off, a pop of color like the red scarf this chick is sporting really pulls the outfit together.

like icing on a cake.
