During my last style inquiry, many of you commented that black is a common theme in your wardrobes ~ but I’d like to get a comparison with earth tones, too, since they’re a fairly common neutral area of apparel. I like earth tones, but I usually like to mix it with neutral-pinks because I can’t pull off orange, unfortunately. However, I adore black and even though I feel like I should put more color into my regular rotation I end up with more black more often than not.
So, without further ado:
VERSUS:
PS: Just when I am finally getting the hang of Polyvore, it keeps screwing up my sets and making the items smaller and centered with so much blank white space, no matter how big I stretch it all out in the Editor. My earlier sets are fine. Could anyone please give me some advice?
Oooh, the age old question. Black or ‘neutral’ earth tones. My answer will be…black.
Why black? Because my favorite colors to wear are blues, grays, and blacks. I don’t wear much “gothic” clothing or whatever anyone wants to call it. I like my preppy/business casual look, but I’ve just always been drawn to black. All my big items of clothing are either black, white, or blue (as in jackets, shoes, pants, and some accessories).
I do wear a lot of pink, especially pale pink. It goes with my skin tone. I’ve been told that salmon looks good as well, but I don’t like that color much.
I also wear a few others colors, most notably purple (both dark and light), but I have some items that are lime green (an undershirt), yellow (some summer shirts), and browns (light khaki and darker shades). I just don’t like brown, green, or those colors much on me. Black is dark and makes me look slimmer. Brown seems to show my size more.
I will say that I like mixing blues with browns. It’s not seen a lot, which is a shame, but the colors really work well.
Polyvore: IDK what’s going on with it. I’ve been having problems with it doing that exact same issue and also not always saving my edits. I think the site is just becoming more popular and thus running into more problems.
