"Black is the new Black"

Age of the non-conformist/ rebel.

If it hasn't become completely obvious, black is making a big appearance in the fashion world. Not that it wasn't worn before, back then it was seen as a colour you wore when you don't want to be noticed, an understated colour. The tides have definitely changed because in 2013 and beyond, wearing black makes a big statement. Wearing a dark color means you can go crazy playing with different textures and layers and also means that your accessories are more emphasized. I love black because it shouts confident, risk-taker, queen! Anyone and everyone can play around with this colour as it accentuates and flatters as well as also being very classy but also majorly edgy. These are the essentials which I think all women need to have in black; the little black dress or maxi dress whatever you're more comfortable in, black leather jacket, black button up shirt and black ankle boots. There is a certain mystery about black, it transcends any trend and is great for nearly every occasion. Whether it's leather or lace, there is a statement to be made when wearing black. Take a look at these black numbers:

What I'm wearing

All Black Everythang. That NineZero Swagger.

On this day I woke up feeling quite glum and fittingly decided to wear all black. And also because I'm a proud 90's kid, I wanted to pay homage to this era and it's distinctive style.
