Why not wear black every day?

It’s no wonder that some people create entire wardrobes consisting of perfect black basics.

It’s a colour that’s both chic and easy, and forms an important base for any wardrobe or outfit.

There’s mystery and an effortless ease in the colour, and while I would probably struggle to go all black everyday a la Sara Donaldson, I quite easily wore this all day and felt a little more myself than I have in a while.

Also, great things happen when you find soft, festive jackets and turn them into backless blouses.
