Eight Reasons I Love Wearing Black

I wear black almost everyday, and I never get sick of it because it is completely timeless.

Eight Reasons I Love Wearing Black

My closet is 99% black clothes. I constantly get comments on my Wednesday Addams appearance and my response never fails to be, “thank you.” Every time I go shopping, hoping to add a little color to my wardrobe, I always end up getting more black. I constantly find clothes I like that come in multiple different colors and inevitably end up with the black version. I love black clothes more than anything. Here are eight reasons why it is the best.

1. It is slimming.

Whenever I’m having a rough day, whether it be bloating or too big of a lunch, I can always count on a black t-shirt dress to make me look like a million bucks.

2. It matches with everything

I always find myself buying colorful accessories including jewelry, shoes, and even different colored lipsticks. In most cases, it is hard to find something that matches, but with my charcoal-colored selection of clothing, I never struggle finding the perfect outfit.

3. It camouflages stains

I am a mess when it comes to pretty much everything. It is not a normal day in my life if I didn't spill something and I can always count on my black garments to hide it all as long as it is not deodorant because that is the bane of everyone's existence.

4. It is great on every skin tone

I have yet to see anyone that can’t rock black. I am the palest of the pale and black is always flattering no matter how pale I am that day and everyday.

5. Instant maturity

Black has a way of making anyone go from 13 to 30 in the best way possible. Whenever I throw on my favorite black blazer I instantly feel ready to take on the world. I feel like I could nail any job interview no matter if I had no clue what I'm doing because I'm rocking black.

6. It works in every season

I know not everyone may agree with this but just hear me out. Fall is a great time to wear black because fall colors look great with black. Winter is a great time to wear black because it is warm. Spring is a great time to wear black because it is flattering and can hide the weight gained during winter hibernation, and finally summer is a great time to wear black because it can match with some crazy floral prints unlike some colors

7. It can be layered

Black on black on black is the greatest color combination there is. I am a huge fan of rocking black tights, with shorts or a skirt, a cute shirt, and a scarf or a leather jacket. This outfit combination has a way of making everyone feel hardcore and stylish.

8. It will never, ever go out of style

Black is completely timeless. Most styles go in and out as people change their tastes but black has been stylish since the beginning and will continue to be forever.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
