How to wear black (well?)
Not to repeat myself but as my mother keep saying, only the stupids don’t change their mind!!
So if you think this just it and I am trying hard not to be stupid and starts to talk about black when, all those weeks, article by article I m hammering your brain and your soul to stay away from black… you are mistaken, but I’ll give fairly this back to you… I would be falling in the same trap as you.

You even wear colored shoes!
