Obsessed with Black...

My co-workers have been getting annoyed lately by my obsession with black. I have been wearing black nonstop for the past months. I think it all started in January and I can't really point down the reason for wearing too much black. My co-workers keep asking me if I am mourning or I am just depressed or whatever the reason is, but I just feel very comfortable in black. Nonetheless, a couple weeks ago Gisela and I went to the Cavalli and Gianfranco Ferre sample sale where I got some amazing pieces that I have yet to wear and post. One of the pieces I got was this beautiful Black Wool/Silk Blend Jacket from Cavalli with a a Silk Shantung watermark print. I am in love with it and can't wait to wear it out this upcoming fall. This Cavalli jacket has an Edwardian style and fits really nicely. I love the fit, the tailoring, the shape and the texture of the lapel.
FIY- NO THIS IS NOT HOW I DRESS TO WORK. THIS WAS MY OUTFIT FOR A NIGHT OUT WITH FRIENDS.

I am not too crazy about the knockoffs and might just give them to my sister and save for my Kirkwoods. Gisela has an amazing pair that I are absolutely gorgeous, I can't wait till she shows you guys.

  3. Well, as they say. When you go black, you never go back! I think you look great - just wear whatever you feel good in (the colour doesn't really matter).
    By the way, I absolutely LOVE all your jewelry!

  10. The leggings and jacket are both amazing! You have a sick jewelry collection too.. love your rings! Eh, there's nothing wrong with wearing a lot of black. I'd say that I wear black probably 3/4 of the time too. :)

  12. Black black black.
    I don't mind it at all. All-black outfits are much more interesting because then you have to look at the details and the different textures.
    Plus black is chic, sexy and mysterious! Hehe.
    You look amazing as always!! I'm so inspired by you.

  16. Even if I don't shy away from color, I always end up going back to black. I do love the rock-chick vibe you get from it. That jacket is amazing - congrats on the purchase! Those leggings are pretty wicked as well and I love the Kirkwood knockoffs! Had no idea they existed (I've always been tempted by Kirkwood, but the price tag is a bit hefty).
