I'm a Scorpio and more than 75% of my closet is black. It's the best neutral ever. I also like navy blue, but there's just too many shades of navy out there to match it well, so I don't wear much of it.
One thing I found amusing ..... @chrystaltree .... have you actually been to a funeral lately? People now wear the craziest and most inappropriate outfits .... with very little black to be seen!

I THINK .....summer died already!!! There should be a law that summer MUST be until the beginning of fall!!!!! So depressing with all the dark colors, long sleeves type of clothing being thrown at us now. But that is retail folks---I went into target only to see back to school stuff already--we don't start school until Sept as well as the fall clothing too. I'd wear black too, in mourning of no summer anymore!!!! I have a piece or 2 in black----mostly I have denim as I don't work but because where I live, the weather is mostly grey and dreary and just can't face wearing the dreary colors eveyday. My tops are bright and colorful and I have different shades of denim, a couple dark denim but thats it.

I went to a funeral just last year. I did wear all-black attire and I felt out of place! Most of the people there were dressed like they were going to a picnic or something.

I have heard that about today's funerals but I have not experienced it. People still dress respectfully for funerals in my world. Not the way they did back in the day, no hats and veils but subdued colors; black, navy, gray.

Did someone ask her if she gained weight and now it's black all the time to look thinner? I wish she'd get back to the pretty colors she use to wear. I even tracked down one of the Soft Surroundings tops she wore (in aqua not black!) on air a looooong time ago and hoped it would look as good on me as it did on her!. What happened to bring on the all the time black outfits? It's depressing.
navy and black are pudgy girls best friend. I speak from experience.

maybe its a New England thing but in some of the older city neighborhoods widowed women still wear all-black. i worked with a woman whose father passed away and she wore all black for one year as a sign of respect and because the "neighborhood" might talk about her.

i am the same way......i enjoy wearing black and all black frequently. it is especially fun because your accessories really get the chance to stand out. jewelry, handbags, shoes, scarves, sunglasses all help to make all black your own individual style statement.

YEP I do not notice either. I wear black 90% of the time myself.
I just like it and always have. If you feel comfy in black, or polka dots, or fuschia, or orange...YOU are the master of your own choice. Do what makes ya happy.

I love black. It makes up the majority of my wardrobe. I find it kind of strange that people associate it with a funeral when it's considered the most classic of colors. I'm not into prints or loud clothing. Once in a while I'll wear a bright color, but it's not my favorite. It's just not my style.

Because Thursday mornings have been her regularly scheduled show times for several years.
