Black was never a color I was particularly drawn to when it comes to clothing.  I suppose my high school jeans & t-shirts phase was when I wore the most black.  (Most band t-shirts are black.)

I also generally try to steer my friends out of their all black ruts in their wardrobes.  My boyfriend was basically a jeans & black t-shirt guy, and now I've got him wearing bright green & blue t-shirts.  I almost got him to buy a red sweater.

Anyway, now I have acquired a new job at a posh spa & salon.  Of course their dress code is... all black.  In the interview, my new boss looked at me, in my bright green shirt and asked if I could adhere to this.  Obviously, I said yes.  So now I am on the hunt for all black that I can still be me in.  I failed to ask if this policy applies to accessories and shoes, as well.  If it doesn't I will be thoroughly stoked.
