Black jeans. Black skirt. Black dress. Black blouse. Black jacket. Black hijab. Black abaya.
When
I think to black color, I think to sublime elegance. Versatility.
Femininity. Black seems to be the new black color of 2013 - 2014 cold
season. True and I know this well! But not like this! Too much is too
much and enough is enough!
On
birthdays, the socialite party, at the club, at the office, at the
cinema, the holidays and to the supermarket, women wear black.
Dresses... black dresses, shirts and pants, jackets, blazers and
blouses, shoes, bags and socks, coats, jackets, boots and underwear; and
above it black abayas and black hijabs. All black. Always. Like they
are all the time in sorrow and about to bury someone!
We
were recently invited to a wedding at a so fancy local restaurant. It
was Saturday night, so I dressed like a flower with a so hot red dress
that would make your blood burning only when you see the color; matched
with it red and white veils, white shoes with red rose on a side and
white purse with the same red roses in front. When we reached there, I
thought that we've got the wrong address and we went to a requiem. All
guests, and when I say all means all, celebrating the happy event in
dark black clothes brought out from an episode of Adam's Family! So what
that the abaya of the lady in the corner was EFFA and her "hubby" was
wearing Ted Lapidus jacket? That complete black was expressing a funeral
air. I mean, we will say to the married couple "Kol sana we entum
tayebin" or "Allah rahmanukum"??? Because seeing the decor, I don't feel
jolly at all...
Many of the girls/ women even in the daily life,
they are wearing black, exclusive black! If you ask me, they look like
Virgins Suicide, not at all Coco Channel models!
And now maybe I should clarify that the dress code Black Tie does not mean not even from far to dress necessarily like the Undertaker (the wrestling fighter). It is a formal style, where you have to wear a stylish dress, long, with a simple cut, but from a precious material without print. This dress can also be emerald green and royal purple. Not necessarily black. That's the idea.
I love the black dresses and sophisticated all black outfits with gold fine accessories, but worn occasionally. Still, I can't close my eyes when I see sad black outfits, intrusive and superfluous as what the girls use to choose these days!
All women want to be special and have a recognizable fashion style, and instead they play with shades and prints, they choose to drawn themselves in a deep black color, succeeding like this to increase the ranks of boring uniforms. Black does not make you thinner as you think, and neither more stylish. Fewer meat balls stuffed under the nose and a little more character and you will see that you will be stylish in a raspberry pink outfit too!
Let's color a little our wardrobe and show courage and good aesthetic taste. And maybe it will give color to our life too.
