Is it just me or does most people (girls) worship black clothes?

What's the obsession with black apparel?

It's the age old obsession that black is classic and makes us look slimmer.

Gotta admit when I walk into a clothing store, I am like 99 percent of the time attracted to the clothings in black (or at least darker tone ones).

Hence the result of more than half of my fave tops r in BLACK. Having thrown open my wardrobe and going aghast at my black fashion sense, I reali lacked bright and a range of other colours to spruce myself up.

Most of my other clothes are in dark green, brown, and blue (and black of course).

White used to be a fave option till I discovered how FAT I look in them and how fast they turned a dirty white and restricting me from indulging in Laksa and other potentially staining dishes.

At least dark colours can hide those stains *grin* But of course you can bleach your pure/all white clothing if they do get stained. *ponders*

Still, due to this very lagging discovery; I have taken steps to make sure I incorporate cheery colours like buttercup yellow, peach, pink etc into what I clothe myself in. With the exception of jeans which gotta be in dark tones coz I got the elephant thunder thighs. -_-III

Anyway, just take a look around you and you can see many girls decked out in black or even ALL BLACK outfits. And really, BLACK does make one look smaller. All hail the visual deceit of BLACK. It is even the top choice for bag colours since it is so damn hardy and easy to match. BLACK goes/pairs well with almost every or should I DARE say ALL COLOURS.

Even when I am out doing sports I prefer to do my running etc in darker sportswear so I think all the perspiration showing up on light coloured clothing looks damn disgusting and water and white clothing do not mix. Unless you like to show your bra to the public.

Except maybe for our hair. Cause as you can see many of us seem to prefer blondes/shocking pink/deep purple/red and brown for our Asian tresses. Except Midnight black.

My hair used to dyed in pretty loud light brown and equally light highlights but I have toned down over the years to a deeper brown and am rethinking back to going my usual black hair roots (stained by chlorine water from the pool :p) or the most a deep chocolate brown. Hmmmm, frankly loud blonde hair is passe lah... Just like the long hair the F4 boys used to sport. Just look at Vic Chow; his hair is cropped short and so is Vanesse's (duno correct spelling or not; almost mispelt it as Vanessa haha).

So there... Are you a BLACK loving person?
