Are you 'scared' of colour?

[wtfftw]

I generally wear black.

My wardrobe was graduating towards it in the year before I left home and then I wasn't really clothes shopping and didn't have enough coloured clothes for the washing machine. I've got house clothes (massive hoodies and jogging bottoms) in other colours (err, dark blue and grey) but they don't count as they're hardly something I've 'decided' to wear.

I've got some purple now though. I tend to clothes shop online (if at all) and I have ordered some other coloured bits that have turned up and been a putrid shade. Not like the picture.

So yeah. Black and purple. It doesn't help that as soon as I add some colour I try to coordinate my make up with it.


I have just ordered lots of stuff but the first (and only, thus far) to arrive is 2 vests (one black, one purple). I got some boots on the way tho...

I really hope they fit.

Ah ha. That may be why the manshape was so encouraging.

I own a pair of black jeans, a pair of black work trousers and two black suit jackets. Oh, and one black dress for funerals. That's it. Otherwise it's white, pink, blue, red, anything except black (though I'd choose black over purple, unless I wanted to get off work early for looking ill).

But it's true that loads of people do wear black most of the time. There's one particular (lesbian) bar I go to where, every time I've been, it's been noteworthy that every other customer was clad in either black or white tops - the first time I went they were also all wearing either black or white vest tops and I genuinely thought they'd just played rounders or something against each other.

I often feel like a peacock who's wandered into a funeral. I can understand it more when people are going to work, and just want to blend in and not appear 'quirky,' but why do so many women dress like widows when they're out at the weekend too?
