Banish Black?




So, how many of you would be left standing naked in the middle of the street if I were to wave my magic wand and banish all black from Wellington?

My guess is many of you. Some of you are 'staunch' black wearers. Insisting it suits you, that it is easy, versatile, flattering, elegant and slimming. What do we have to say about that clients of www.wardrobeflair.com???

Others are sick to death of going into the shops and seeing nothing but black. They want to break out of it. They don't feel good in it, feeling it accentuates drab weather and drab surrounds. They just feel locked into it, like there are not many other alternatives.

Black is a colour that suits 1/3 of people. Yes, that means "shock, horror" maybe not you. When it is on the wrong person it makes them look older, tired and drained of colour. Even those that DO suit it wear it far too often.

My pet hates for wearing black are firstly, during summer. It is the LEST summery colour (or non-colour if we are getting technical). It attracts the heat and very few compliments at the same time.

Second least favourite time for wearing black - Weddings. Totally inappropriate. It is a joyous, happy occasion. Not a funeral.

I know this seems scary. It doesn't have to be. There are other 'safe' alternatives. Colours that can be used as a base and are not 'out there' while using colours with these you can inject new life into your wardrobe.

Trust us, we know. We have seen the exclusion of black from hundreds of wardrobes. We have also seen it become quite life changing to many. Compliments flourish which means confidence blossoms. Its a beautiful thing!

If you need help to do this transformation, then call us. We can set you on the road to colour with confidence.

Stay colourful! www.wardrobeflair.com

Hi Trudi,

Great post - and so nice to see the beauty of colour being celebrated.

At deNada we work hard to have plenty of non-black options - which I know you know - so your words ring very true. I would love to post your blog entry to our Facebook page and spread the love. Are you happy for me to do this? Of course I would love you to tell your fans about us too :-)

Cheers
Nada

Nada, encouraging colour is a cause we can all help with.

I love helping people see the potential with colour and how it inspires confidence.

It is wonderful to have great designers and shops like deNada that then are able to facilitate this knowledge by having clothing in gorgeous colours and fabrics.

Please feel free to use this blog post.

Cheers
Trudi
