I've mentioned before that I was raised by an overly traditional grandparents, which often had a say on anything and everything while I was growing up. Therefore, I grew up with a notion that the color Black represents formality and is the color in times of bereavement...too old-school isn't it?
During my younger years, I really don't have anything in this shade until I've started working that I started owning items in this color palate. Of course, the usual black pants, skirt, bag, shoes which I often use for work.
Since then, I've accumulated quite a number of items in this color, here are some:
Personal effects - I have my Girbaud bag, a gift from my brother's first return from his work overseas, been with me for years now yet still looks a bit new. A Hello Kitty bag, also a gift from one of my best friends. My RL black wallet which I featured here on GT. All my formal footwear are in this color.
Clothing - a number of black tees and tops and a few bottoms to match my very colorful collection of clothes ;) But I have this one black classic dress by BCBG which I am very much boastful of, I really feel sexy when wearing it, though I've only wore it once - when I had to fit it lol!. I've read somewhere and sometime ago (while I was still very much a fashionista) to maintain at least one black dress that can be dependable for any occasion.
Gadgets - my new Samsung Corby phone is in black and the sleek personal computer which we bought last Christmas (from our savings last year) is also in black.
