I have a thing for black clothes (most especially, black dresses). Black is classy, elegant and chic. Black is comfortable. I also love its flexibility with other colours. It goes with anything. And it works everytime. I actually do love a variety of colours but there is just something about black. For every item of clothing in my wardrobe, I have a black. I didn't realise this until many times in few months, some friends amusingly accused me of wearing black so often.
So timidly, I took up the challenge to do a #NoBlackWeek. A week in which I must not wear the shade of black in any item of clothing. Unbelievably, I survived!
I go to the office on Mondays to Fridays. Here was what the week looked like. :D
Monday
Day 1: I rocked a not-so-red shirt and a not-so-white skirt with a not-so-brown pair of shoes. It was a not-so-bad day after all.
Colours Shades: Chinese red and copper
Tuesday
Day 2: I rocked a red shirt, yellow flowery pencil skirt with a red belt. Matching it up with a pair of brown shoes.

Wow, I am a champion. You may not exactly understand until you try something like it. *phew* Although the camera didn't capture my shoes for Wednesday and Thursday, but believe me, they weren't black.
It was indeed an adventure. I enjoyed every bit of it! When you try new things, you learn new skills. Learning new things creates an atmosphere of a better yesterday. Do something new today. :)
