Bored Is The New Black
“Go easy on the black.”
I can’t help it. It’s the safest bet to hide that teeny tiny bulge around the waist after downing a plateful of cheesecake. It’s the color you wear when you have nothing to wear to the office. It’s what you have to wear to flaunt that new blonde streaks fresh out of the salon. It’s the color you wear to be taken seriously, sometimes.
Mr. Boyfriend once said that I have one too many little black dresses. “You spend too much money on the same dresses, baby,” he would say. And I would just give him my widest smile and plant a huge kiss on his lips to shut him up.
What do men know about LBDs and why women love black anyway? It’s a woman thing. Besides, we don’t wear black only to formal occasions. I’m going out of town for business and I’m going to wear black for three days straight because hey, who knows whether I’m going to be invited to cocktail hours after the grueling days of surveying sites for a national conference?
To me, black doesn’t only define my eyes it also defines the colorful accessories I own. Just see this hot black hoodie:
Right. So that’s what I’m going to wear tomorrow to the airport. Too plain? Not to worry, I might be tired of scarves and necklaces… but I’m never tired of bags. And behold the Anuschka travel tote I’ll be toting:
Isn’t it divine? This is what I love about the bag: it has every color you want to liven up the black top (or any plain tops, for that matter). And it’s clearly has a lot of suggestions on what other accessories that could enrich MY style!
Um, this got me thinking: maybe I should slip in my gold bangles in there, just in case that cocktail thing really happens. Afterall, my Anuschka travel tote has room for everything. Even for my three cell phones. I mean adding one bangle would not hurt. Okay, maybe two. Hey, what about that turquoise-gold earrings? That should match the bag. And of course, the black top!
Oh heck, now I remember that I really should start packing.
Until then, bloggies!
