The Color Black: what can I say about this wardrobe basic other than you should own it in several pieces in your closet at all times. Anyone that knows me knows that I certainly do, sometimes I think to a fault, however, when I sway away from what makes me feel comfortable, it hangs in that 80%, unworn part of my closet.  There are many reasons that black in your wardrobe is a must…..it’s slimming, it’s ageless, it’s always chic whether worn for day or night and to the office or the gym. My favorite reason for wearing black is that in most cases, the specific garment is not memorable and allows for multiple wears on an often times pricey investment.  Right now, it’s a wardrobe essential in these months that are those in-between-seasons-months….a stand-by you can always count on.

So, if you are in need of some inspiration or a refresher course on why you, like me, own several items shown below…..please scroll through some of our favorite pics.
