I have too many black clothes. How about you?

[tigereye]

My closet is full of black clothes. I always wear more black in winter, but maybe my closet needs a color infusion!

[sniffa]

1. too much orange

good thing orange is ready for a big comeback.

[Richardo]

6. Orange: the new black!

:thumbsup:

[tigereye]

14. I look terrible in orange

my sister looks great in it, so we always buy her orange clothes...

[sniffa]

21. i'm a big baby

[arcane1]

2. I most definitely need a colour infusion

[demnan]

3. Black, the fat girl's friend

I love black, I even dyed my hair black to match my clothes. Hey, just go wild and buy a few fun scarves. I got a beautiful scarf for Christmas that I haven't worn.

[tigereye]

16. I do spice it up with scarves

and funky vests. I love vests and have a lot of them.

[bobbobbins]

4. when i was in highschool, i used to wear nothing but black

now, i can't stand wearing it, makes me feel dirty and depressed...which is basically how i felt through most of highschool...not bathing didn't help much either

[fertilizeonarbusto]

5. nope

Love dark colors. And, Sniffa, orange only looks good in very dark-skinned people or the lily white. It makes brown and olive skinned folk look jaundiced.

[Left Is Write]

8. It looks terrible on people with pinkish-toned skin also.

[Lavender Brown]

7. I have a lot of black

but a few items that I wear a lot are bright colors.

[Bouncy Ball]

9. I have too much black, too.

And gray and brown and navy blue. And beige.

Blech.

I try to perk it up with fuschia, red, etc.

[tigereye]

20. yeah, I have lots of jackets in different colors for work

haven't been able to find a good purple one. I like purple,too.

[ChavezSpeakstheTruth]

10. Nope - hippy here. Its all about earthtones

Sister

[tigereye]

17. earth tone boy!

No, I have other clothes. For some reason, I like black clothes and jeans in the winter. I save the colors for summer and spring.

[Tweed]

39. That's what I'm talking about

Green, brown, blue, that dominates my wardrobe

[Left Is Write]

11. I like black clothes - they go with everything!

I have the black basics - dress, skirt, pants, two or three black sweaters, black casual shoes, black boots, and black dress shoes.

I do have lots of colors, though, especially reds, pinks, and blues. And various shades of brown from dark to light.

[eek]

13. black

like my heart.



Actually the only problem I have with all the black clothes and shoes is that my closet does not have sufficient lighting. This makes it difficult to distinguise "blue black, brown black etc etc.
And I lose stuff all the time due to falling off hangers onto floor.

[MuseRider]

12. Tons of it too

but then I need it to perform in so I add in a few casual black items and who needs anything else?

[jonnyblitz]

15. yup. shitloads of black here

by design.

[tigereye]

18. plus I have a bunch of black boots, jackets, etc

guess I never grew out of the black clothes thing from college...

[jonnyblitz]

26. why would one have to "grow out of it?"

why is that the one color you have to grow out of and not the others? I don't buy into that shit. It's my favorite color.

[tigereye]

27. no, I like black and look good in it-

it's more the "dressing like college" thing ( well not exactly, that was stuff from the thrift store - which I still like at times) than "the growing out of black clothes" thing.

[fryguy]

19. can never have too much black - n/t

[swimmernsecretsea]

22. Black is supposed to be slimming...

And I can't afford liposuction!

BTW: here's another posting and the link

[MrScorpio]

23. I used to live in Europe

You can never have enough black clothes there.

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. Mine too. Black and Jade green are my colors of choice. I tend to

gravitate toward them when shopping. Black is slimming and my eyes are green so jade brings them out. :hi:

[tigereye]

28. hey Mrs. G

how are ya? :hi:

[ScreamingMeemie]

Everyday is a personal triumph. Things are going much better than they

were. I've herniated the surgery and am a little "wheezy" yet (so says the dr) but I am doing ever so much better. All the caring from everyone here has blown me away. :hug:

[tigereye]

30. good and healing vibes for you

:hug:

how are the kids?

[ScreamingMeemie]

34. They are back to whining at me...which is a good sign. It was a tough

couple of weeks for them with grandma in charge. All the six year old could say was that she was "bossy" and didn't do things the way "we" do them. ;) How is your family doing??

[Zing Zing Zingbah]

25. No. I don't think I own any black clothes.

I usually wear different shades of blue. I like khaki colors for pants too.

[Beware the Beast Man]

29. Sorry. I grew out of my Goth phase when I was 15.

:P

[tigereye]

32. I was never a Goth

and I am having trouble seeing you as one. ;)

I just look good in black.

[swimmernsecretsea]

33. I try not to wear too much black clothing

I look good in a black turtleneck, but it makes me think of Dieter from Saturday Night Live. Overly precious.

[baba]

31. One of my New Year's resolutions.

One of my resolutions is to wear more colorful clothes! I wear way too much black, because it is easy.

[Flaxbee]

35. Used to have a lot of black...

was a corporate atty in NYC and black seemed to be the thing because you couldn't tell if you'd worn it three days in a row b/c the asshat partner you were working for wouldn't let you go home to change or shower or whatever, and it fit my mood b/c I hated my job.

Now, I've started replacing black with white as a good "neutral" and have been purchasing more colors. Don't like all black anymore, though I still have a few black sweaters I like, as well as black accents like bags and belts.

[MissMillie]

36. I used to have nothing but black

but not so much now. I think I have one pair of black pants and maybe 2 or 3 black tops

(Of course, the fact that I have shrunk out of most of my clothes and have so few that fit me these days might have something to do w/ my lack of black clothes.)

[Donkeyboy75]

37. They suck if you have a pet.

[Nikia]

38. I always be sure to buy a variety of colors

The past two years when I asked for clothes for Christmas by circling things in the JC Penny's catalog, my mother-in-law asked why I didn't designate colors, I told her that I wanted everything to be different colors. I try to buy different colored things if I do go clothes shopping too.
I am not tied to one color or look. In fact, I often feel like different colors on different days so it is good to have variety.
When there is a sale at your favorite store, go out and buy several items that are all different colors. Then you can wear the colors you feel.

[Chicago Democrat]

40. How do you keep em blacK? mine always fade...

and its just aint black no mo..

[Shakespeare]

44. My black clothes don't go in the dryer--they air dry to keep their color.

If you've never tried this, you'll be amazed at how air drying will preserve the color on black clothes (and on any clothes that are intensely colored, for that matter).

[WMliberal]

41. It's just urban camo.

I make up for it in the summer. There are also days like today, when I wear a brightly colored summertime shirt under a gray pullover. It's JUST enough color to get by.

[tigereye]

42. I like that

"just enough color to get by...."

[AlCzervik]

43. Mostly black but once in a awhile i go crazy and wear grey.
