I can so relate to this article!

How about you?

Whenever I’m not in New York and I get dressed for the day, there’s always at least one person who manages to comment on my all black outfit: you are so New York. What’s up with that?

Sure, lots of New York women wear all black but it’s more than just a characteristic of the city; it’s a representation on the type of gal you really are.

And I’m not talking about the “goth” girl with chains, spikes, black nail polish, and black lipstick. I’m talking about a woman who has a diverse wardrobe in terms of style, but when it comes to color? All black errrthang:

You look chic and classic all the time.
Being asked if you’re going to a funeral is old.

You’ve mastered the art of color popping: lipstick, nail polish, necklace…
You never fear clashing.
Nothing will ever be “the new black.”

Black is “the new black.”
Your closet is made up of an array of fabrics: cotton, leather, lace, spandex, fur, sequins…
You don’t do brown or navy.
You just don’t.
You’re prepared for any social situation at any given time…
Because the transition from day to night is as simple as throwing on some lipstick.
It’s always an appropriate time to wear black.
You will never be that girl wearing white pants after Labor Day.
Everything comes in black. Everything.
You’ve tried buying colors before…
You’ve been actively optimistic going into a store saying, I’m gonna buy something yellow!
But you leave with a black crop top, a pair of black leather spandex, and black lacey shorts.
Hey, you tried.
People are intimidated by you because all-black is nothing but fierce.
And some people may think you’re boring…
But really you’re just smart and efficient because black will always be in.
You don’t necessarily divulge everything about yourself right away with new people.
You take some getting to know.
There’s always an element of mystery to you.
At the end of the day, you are bold and you get shit done.
Basically, a girl who wears all black everything means business.
