All Black Is the New Black

Sporting an all-black ensemble isn't just a great way to look tougher — or thinner — but it can also be super sophisticated.

Sporting an all-black ensemble isn't just a great way to look tougher — or thinner — but it can also be super sophisticated. OnSugar blog trendy intellect shows us some Fab examples of women in black.

My perusal of numerous online fashion sites and blogs have led me to one conclusion: aside from the mixed neutrals trend everyone seems to be pushing lately, all black has made a rather large comeback (unintentional rhyming, points for me!). You may have noticed that the most common perpetrators have been the Olsen twins, Mary-Kate and Ashley. Now if you look below, you'll see I've collected an array of photos of women in black just for you.

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Liquid Legs

For our final Paint It Black ensemble, I decided to put on my liquid legs, aka liquid leggings.

For our final Paint It Black ensemble, I decided to put on my liquid legs, aka liquid leggings. They're surprisingly comfortable; I can spend days in them. Since they're trendy, I kept the rest of me tame by wearing a V-neck tee and a long knit vest. A slim brown belt, layered gold necklaces, and gold bangles serve as subtle highlights. It's been noir-tastic ladies — over and out.

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Lacey

I have this fun black lace sheer tee that I don't give enough love to.

I have this fun black lace sheer tee that I don't give enough love to. It does a great job of lending subtle sultriness to any outfit. Today I decided to give it a spin for a coffee date with a friend. Because it's daytime, I downplayed the sexy factor by pairing it with loose-fitting trousers. At night, I might wear it with a mini leather skirt. Lace-up booties, a cropped jacket, and Ray-Ban Wayfarers complete my all-black look.

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Slash

Alas, after being caught between two slashed tanks, I went with my first love, the black.

Alas, after being caught between two slashed tanks, I went with my first love, the black. I'm so happy I did, because, it turns out it fit like a glove. Yay! Immediately after putting it on, I had a vision of the exact ensemble I wanted to wear it with, and here it is. My black miniskirt is actually a maternity belly band. It's cold out, so I threw on a black cardigan, sheer hose, and dressy socks for added flair.

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Nuevo Boots

I have no shortage of boots, but I've been jonesing for something motorcycle-style.

I have no shortage of boots, but I've been jonesing for something motorcycle-style. They lend hard-core edge to any outfit. I was happy to snag this Nine West Vintage America pair, which is actually a mix between equestrian and moto, on sale a couple days ago. For further flair, I threw on a studded tank, black trench, a knit beanie, and a gold chain necklace worn as a bracelet.

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Coined

My dear friends got me this silver multistrand coin necklace for my birthday last year.

My dear friends got me this silver multistrand coin necklace for my birthday last year. I'm so thankful they did — it always jazzes up my outfits. And here it adds much-needed flair to my all-black look, right? The romper is the one I wore over my bikinis all last Summer; I made it Winter-appropriate via tights and booties. A dab of matte fuchsia lipstick, and I'm ready to seize the day.

Celeb Mag For African-American Women — Love It or Leave It?

The supermarket checkout counter is about to get a little more crowded.

The supermarket checkout counter is about to get a little more crowded. Celebrity magazine Juicy will arrive in May, giving us one more thing to flip through while we wait in line. However, the publishers don't really expect all of us to reach for it.

The magazine will specifically target one group of grocery store shoppers: African-American women: "From Jay-Z and Beyonce to what’s up with Rihanna and the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Juicy will cover the latest and greatest in hairstyles and hair products." Mainstream celebrity magazines do feature black stars, but do you still like the idea of this more targeted option?

Paint It Black — Fab's 30-Day Fashion Challenge! Lady Mob

A friend told me I look like a film noir mobster(ette) today, so just call me Lady Mob!

A friend told me I look like a film noir mobster(ette) today, so just call me Lady Mob! I purchased this vest dress a while back because it reminded me of YSL Spring '08. It's slick and lends two different looks depending on whether I button it or not. I highly recommend vest dresses. And do you like my over-the-knee boots? I threw on my Ray-Ban Wayfarers for extra oomph.
