Black Attack

A family friend often remarks that I “will make a good looking widow one day.” Though this is a friendly jab at my mostly black wardrobe, I have come to embrace the fact that my signature color may actually be the absence of color…black. In the spirit of not being completely goth, however, I think that adding one pop of color and some texture makes a mostly black outfit rather appealing. Thoughts?

This number is inspired by a colleague – Ms. Lawler – who does the classics so well. The antique floral print is a tip of the hat to Kentucky and is kept modern with the structured military skirt.
