Favorite Color

A few years ago, a student said to me, "I know your favorite color!"
"Oh, do you?  What is it?"
"Black!  I know because you wear it a lot."

Gulp.  I had to think on that one and look through my closet.  She was right.  Many of my pieces were black based.  Though I definitely don't want to be known as a Goth teacher, my wardrobe isn't a bad thing.  When your closet has a dominant neutral color, all the extra pieces coordinate!  For example, a black skirt or black slacks can go with any top or sweater.  If you feel overwhelmed with too many clothes, scale back on pants or skirts to a favorite neutral:  khaki, brown, black, or navy.  Accessories of trendy, popping color don't take up much space.  Blouses and shirts can mix and match with the neutral, giving you many more outfits with fewer clothes.

Something to think about as you weed out excess clothing.

By the way, my favorite color is actually pink.
