During all of my style identity crises and wardrobe overhauls, black and draped pieces have always stuck, always stayed true. I always felt comfortable in black, and I think this originates in my flirtation with the "other side", with darkness, with soul, with depth. I am invested in the power that lies there. I always wanted to be a sorcerer or a seer, magical, intuitive, a holder of the keys to life's secrets. Those desires remain, and I think they are somehow translated by this personal wardrobe essential. It's almost as if the mystical and unseen are hiding in the folds. If it makes me feel like I hold a great secret, it is a garment for me.
My most loved and long-treasured wardrobe pieces speak to this essential truth of my person. I make the best wardrobe decisions when I follow it.
Wardrobe Building Rule #1: Don't doubt that which is black, flowing and comfortable.
