Maybe it's my adoration for classics, but I love it. It makes me feel powerful and sexy. I do tend to punch up the whole look with some funky handbags or by wearing a black suit and then neon pink heels. So I have a funky side, but she doesn't come out to play as often. But I don't mind it that way. I would rather people see that I mean business first but then look down and see that I you can be at ease around me. I just want the upper hand first.elinwoodsMon, 18 May 2009 10:42:11 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/black-blah-is-that-the-message-we-want-to-send-to-the-world/#comment-3393393amen to that. there's nothing to spread joy and amazement in a busy downtown downpour like a re-enactment of gene kelley's Singing in the RainRick_JuliussonThu, 30 Oct 2008 13:08:37 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/black-blah-is-that-the-message-we-want-to-send-to-the-world/#comment-3383933I try to avoid umbrellas altogether, basking in the wonderful wetness of a good downpour. And maybe -- just maybe -- when the sun comes out and I shake off some of that water, I might just make my very own rainbow...morning gruelWed, 29 Oct 2008 21:40:18 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/black-blah-is-that-the-message-we-want-to-send-to-the-world/#comment-3127807I do wear a good deal of black, because it punches up "my" colors of red (true reds to cool reds) and cobalt blue. It's also a color that happens to flatter my "Snow White" coloring. If it didn't flatter me (and it doesn't flatter everyone - as a matter of fact, I'd love to wear earth tones, but they're not flattering), I wouldn't wear it.<br><br>As my hair gets more silver in it, I imagine that my reds, blues and blacks will soften and "gray" also.BelvaFri, 17 Oct 2008 09:19:04 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/black-blah-is-that-the-message-we-want-to-send-to-the-world/#comment-3102220Oh, blue.

I love color.<br>But my favorite outifit especially for the winter months is all black: black tights or stockings, black boots, black slim skirt, black V-neck, and large ear-rings (right now Inidan style hoops with raspberry-colored stones). Then it´s all about MY OWN colors: my brown hair that likes to shimmer in colors like in Renaissance paintings, my olive-green eyes that I accent with khol, my lips whose color I enhance or not, and the fair skin of my face, neck and upper chest. I can´t hide like that. I am all out there, in plain view, proud, and all me! And I feel - and look - anything but blah!SophiaThu, 16 Oct 2008 14:18:54 -0000http://carrieanddanielle.com/black-blah-is-that-the-message-we-want-to-send-to-the-world/#comment-3096526My umbrella is a beautiful sky blue with little fluffy clouds!<br><br>Let's revolutionize the idea of a "little black dress." What dress would truly embody your style statement and suit you so well, you COULD wear it anywhere?
