I chose black as my base color because it is so vesatile and it comes with a multitude of clothing and accessory options. It goes with all skin shades and today it is acceptable in both warm and cold climates. For years we have heard of the "little black dress" that is a must for all well appointed female wardrobes, well, that is still true. The plain black dress which can be dressed up or down is definetly finding its way into my suitcase. Coordinated with comfortable black dress shoes, pearls and a small black evening bag, I am off to practically any evening function. When it is worn with a multi colored (with a small black interest in the design) pullover top or blouse and I have toned it down for day wear. But get this straight, a black theme wardrobe does not mean I am always wearing black. It means that the clothing I chose will go beautifully with my black shoes, bags, sweaters or wraps that I pack. I am always adding clothing that is colorful and tasteful with that black accent that makes it easy to blend. During my May cruise you will see how this process comes about.
