There is a difference between choosing black and hiding in it.
If you have ever worked with me, you know I will almost always push you toward color. Not because black is the problem. But because most of us are not choosing black. We are settling into it.
And those are not the same thing.
A well-fitted black dress can command a room. It signals sophistication and authority. Color psychology is real and black earns its place in every wardrobe. Black has never been the enemy.
Settling is.
When you reach for black because somewhere, quietly, you have decided today is not a good day to be noticed, that is not a style choice. That is a visibility choice. And your wardrobe registers the difference even when you don’t.
One of my earliest clients is a story that has stayed with me for nearly ten years. She was brilliant, accomplished, and the only woman like her in a room full of tech bros. And she had quietly decided the safest thing she could do was vanish.
Her entire closet proved it.
I share her full story, and what happened a year later, in the first episode of Worthy of Being Seen, a new series about what our wardrobes reveal about how we truly see ourselves.
Are you dressing to be seen? Or are you dressing to disappear?
Because your wardrobe is always telling the truth, even when you’re not ready to.
Yours in Style, Shopping & Soul,
