I've tried to get into it and other dark colors, but I just can't. It makes me look dead. I have fair skin and dark hair, though I've seen other women with similar features look great in black. I look like death. Why can some fair dark haired women wear it and look fine and others not? Why is it such a popular color, anyway? Suits, most professional wear is dark. I love pastels and light colors, but they're mostly reserved for kids clothes or older women's clothing. Why is this since it makes most women look so much better, imo? I've heard light shades wash people out, but I disagree - it makes me look like I have some color, and I definitely prefer pink and light blue or green when I have a tan.

I've kinda been getting into a dark phase - I'm rebelling since I'm not looking forward to summer. I love fall and am craving dark colors for some reason. Though I don't think I can do it since I wore black today and just felt so yucky. Black also makes me look older, I think. I'm 27, but even at my age black accentuates fine lines I'm getting. Do you wear black and why do you like it?
