women who wear black lead colorful lives
All black outfit inspiration
"Women who wear black lead colourful lives" Neiman Marcus.This quote has always resonated in me because I'm definitely a woman who loves to wear black. I feel all kind of confident and powerful when I wear black: all black, black and white, black and grey etc ... Black is my happy colour!And trust me, my life is far from boring. I am passionate about what I do and who I love. I like to get my adrenaline levels high, I am always on the go!
Don't get me wrong, I wear brighter colours { on a few occasions haha }, but I can definitely say that I mostly stick to cooler tones.I have never truly been able to grasp why black is often associated to something negative.
But I guess it's how it has been perceived and conveyed by society for centuries.
I admit, I even catch myself from time to time linking black to darkness.
I'm trying to avoid this, especially with my son. I pay close attention not to associate blackness to fear ( we sometimes play in the dark and have so much fun ) or negativity or failure. I don't want him to grow up with such a perception of a colour that is part of "who he is", which is a reflection of his skin. You'd be surprised how kids can perceive things in the back of their heads.How do you perceive women who loves to wear black?
Here are my thoughts.
They are unapologetic, bold, driven and self empowering. They don't buy into trends just to follow the crowds. Personally, if there is a trend I absolutely love and adopt; it means that I see it as an avenue to express myself.Also, I want to insert a little disclaimer here: people who wear bright colours are nothing short of what I just stated. I personally know badass inspiring women who are walking rainbows ;)
Now on to what I'm wearing. Big, bold sleeves have been a huge hit on the runaways, I've been a fan for a long time.
I love the structure of this Chicwish echo wrap top. The high waisted jeans are from Topshop. I like the fit of the Jamie jeans. The gorgeous bag and the most comfortable sock boots are from Aldo Shoes.
Seriously, get these sock boots ...
you'll thank me later ;)Bisous xx
