“Black is modest and arrogant at the same time. Black is lazy and easy — but mysterious. But above all black says this: I don’t bother you — don’t bother me.” – Yohji Yamamoto

Can you recall a time when you couldn’t find anything to wear? This was one of many situations in which your closet was full of clothes, and you only had ten minutes to get ready. What did you do?

Nine times out of ten, you probably found something black to wear. Depending on the season, black is one of those universal colors that can be worn with almost any pattern, print, or color. You can practically wear it anywhere, except to a wedding a course!

If you are wondering how to wear black casually, just ask our good friend, Donisha! Hailing all the way from North Carolina, we had a chance to catch up with this Urban Planner during one of our weekend excursions. Today, Donisha shows off one of her weekend friendly outfits. She had this about her look, “I would wear this outfit to my retail job or a fun Saturday out and about with friends.”

Yes, Donisha! This is one of those fun little outfits you could wear around the city. For starters, you can’t go wrong with a graphic shirt and blazer combo! For instance, just check our the details in the shirt. Donisha states, “My favorite piece of the outfit is the shirt because it sparkles ! What girl you know know don’t like a little sparkle?”

We agree Donisha, the shirt is very cute! Furthermore, the shirt and blazer combo is the perfect look for any rainy day, especially during the winter.

Also, we love how you threw us off with a black skirt. Traditionally, the everyday shopper would wear a nice pair of pants with this look, but not our girl Donisha. She was channeling her old school Vanessa Huxtable with her above the knee skirt. She was definitely giving us business up top, but party at the bottom. Why not add a few more guests to the party with pair of black stocking and leather buckled boots? We don’t see a problem.

Overall, we loved Donisha’s weekend outfit. What do you think? Leave us some comments below.

Thanks for reading!
