Basics 1: The Black Skirt
March 7, 2009
I obviously love black. For one, you can go on a whole day without worrying much about your clothes looking dirty. Black also goes well with almost very color. For this post, I’ll concentrate on ht importance of having a good black skirt in your closet.
The first black skirt I bought from ukay-ukay was a black corduroy mini (got it for 20 pesos). I got this one around a year and a half ago, and I’m still using it up to this day. I usually wear it on casual days with a shirt, a vest and sneakers. I also got to use it for semi-formal events, from interviews to baptisms (see my Girl’s Day Out post – yes, I wore boots for my niece’s baptism).
I have at least 5 black skirts in my closet. For some reason, I collect skirts for its ‘immortality rate’ – how long can I use it and how ‘usable’ the skirt is. And so far, no other kind of skirt satisfied my needs as much as my black skirts. I can absolutely say that no girl’s closet is complete without a black skirt.
On a side note, every closet should also have at least one denim mini. It goes well with almost everything, though you can’t really use it for semi-formal/formal events. It’s a must have for people who don’t wear uniforms to work/school.
