wears a lot of black

This past week, all I wore to work was black. Monday, I wore black pants and a black cardigan. Tuesday, I wore black pants and a black sweater. Wednesday, I wore grey pants and a black sweater. Thursday, I wore black pants, a black and white shirt and a black cardigan. Friday, I wore tan pants and a black shirt. Anyone else see something wrong with this picture?

And, it's not just this past week. It's every week. I own a few pieces of color here and there, but the majority of my wardrobe consists of the following colors: black, grey, white, black, black, blue, black. I try to add in some color, but even at the store, I gravitate toward the blacks. I do feel like I can wear my black clothes more frequently and it won't be as noticeable. Whereas if I wear something bold on, say, a Tuesday and then again the following Monday, people might whisper and say "she just wore that not even a week ago". Since black is so basic (see also: boring), I feel like I can get away with the repeats more often. Right? So, what I'm really saying here is that I'm lazy when it comes to putting together something to wear.

Sure, black is classic, black is slimming, black goes with everything, blondes look good in black and everything else you've ever heard about it. Those are all excuses. The real story is that black is easy.

But, really. Sometimes, I need easy, so I take it where I can get it.
