When in doubt "wear black"- community contest #248

By emlynx on 7/28/2025

This prompt has made me realize that I have so many black outfits 😂 and guess what? It isn’t intentional.

So let me tell you how I came to have so many black clothes.

Before now, I had a hard time selecting clothes to wear. It seemed like everything I wore would scream remove me, except black. So I started getting more black, It fits with everything you want to wear.

Black is unique and unisex. It doesn’t clash with colors; it matches well with every color you pair it with. There are times when my outfit from head to toe is black. My mom would usually ask, “Are you going for a funeral?” But truthfully, I just feel comfortable in them, and with them on, I believe I’m good to go.

Yesterday was one of the those days I had no idea of what to wear but here comes my black gown ☺️

Another reason I have so many black items is because of my school. We wear white or blue shirts and black pants for school though you can wear a black skirt too. So you'll see blue, white, and mostly black.

Would I like to change my wardrobe? Yes!! I would love to but maybe not now. I need the black as a student, especially when you’ve run out of ideas of what to wear. I have a favorite color: blue and white. But most times I question myself if I’m really sure they’re my favorites. Apart from school uniforms, you won't find any other blue in my closet. You may find white, but just a few.

About me getting married at 71 if I was a widow (although I won’t be one even at 90 ☺️): If, sadly, my baby goes to heaven and I’m here alone, would I remarry?

This is really a tough question, but here’s my answer—I’m a lover girl, even though my friends don’t believe it. So, if I still have this type of mentality I have now, I will surely remarry. I have peace and wealth, I know, but having someone I talk to every night and morning, someone to get angry with, is something I cherish and love.

My decision might change with time, I don’t know but if nothing changes, I will remarry.

Black really wants to buy my heart 💕 Should I give it my heart??

And black it is :) Somehow, most of us share the same love for the shade (consciously or unconsciously).

I like your positive views on remarrying. It's a good sign that you are open to possibilities :)

The choice of the color black is a good one for all of the reasons you mention, plus honestly, it never goes out of style!

As for remarrying at age 71, time will tell, if that should happen to be the case for you in the future.

Thanks for sharing and have a lovely day!
