Why do women think they “love” wearing black?

Last night at our Energy Profiling class a woman with a dominant  Type 3 energy came up to me and said “I wore black just because you said I shouldn’t!”

I responded, “How Type 3 of you to get in my face and do that!  You can wear whatever you want!”  I then shared with the audience, “For most of you, if you want to look 10 years older, 10 lbs heavier, and feel crummy….keep wearing black!”

I have helped thousands of people learn to dress their truth.  Repeatedly I experience women nearly “freaking out” when they learn they have to give up their black clothes if they are going to dress their truth.

This is amazing to me.  You would think I was telling them they can’t wear yellow, or blue, or maybe even a very beautiful version of purple!  It’s BLACK ladies, no movement, no expression, just stillness and on most women it’s deadly.

All I can figure is the fashion gods got together years ago and said “lets fool the women of the world and convince them that the color that will look the worst on them is a color everyone can wear!”  And everybody was convinced!  The clothing merchandisers would want everyone to keep wearing black so they can keep pumping out black clothes real cheap and keep you buying them.

Here are some of the most famous myths about black that are not true…

It makes you look thinner - not at all, it actually makes you look bigger since the color black is so still.

Everyone looks good in it - Wrong! Only women with a dominant Type 4 Energy look stunning in black.  Type 1’s look childish, Type 2’s look overpowered, and Type 3’s look old.

It frames your silhouette - I am not sure what this means, but I have heard it from the so called fashion experts.

It goes with everything - You have been convinced the color black is a neutral color, it is not.  It really only looks great with other saturated colors or pure stark white - on a Type 4!

I won’t know what to wear if I can’t wear my black - Please let me help you figure that one out!  I guarantee you will be thanking me and in the near future be saying to me, “I can’t imagine wearing black again.”  Hundreds of women have already said that to me.

What do you believe about wearing black?

Are you convinced you can’t give it up?

Ladies, those of you who have learned to dress your truth and said goodbye to your black, share your experiences with the rest of us.

After all it’s just black.
