It's been over a month since I last posted an outfit picture (I've checked). I have not been wearing anything particularly interesting in the last weeks - from my point of view, anyway, as my outfits have been mostly all-black. Not very long ago I participated in Sally's Summer Blackout Challenge and I said then that it wasn't really a challenge for me because I very rarely wore black anyway. Little did I know that I would soon be forced into purchasing some black items to put in my wardrobe. Nearly four weeks ago I was faced with a new challenge - how to put together an all-black outfit.
As I've said, I had to get some black pieces - there were some in my wardrobe but they were mostly warm clothes, like woolen skirts and coats. Up until a month ago I owned two pairs of black trousers, two T-shirts and a strap top, plus a ruched blouse, and two cotton cardis. And a black skirt & top with white polka dots. Can't really say it's 'nothing' but hardly enough for day-to-day wear in the summer months.
In the following few days I'll show you some of my all-black outfits. I've decided to wear all-black for a month and then every Friday and every 16th of the month for another year. So basically, I'm returning to some more colour next week.
I took the pictures myself today, with a little help of my timer - you can tell, can't you. No picture of me standing as I didn't have a clue how to do that - I had a very limited space (our tiny balcony), which is why I'm sitting on a chair, so at least you get a half of me... As the outfit is really simple I'm putting some more attention to my accessories.
