WEARING BLACK IN THE SUMMER

It's quite obvious that I love to wear black. From my frames to my nails to my shoes - it's all black everythang.

Wearing black outfits in the summer everywhere I've lived before (Miami, Chicago) is a recipe for disaster (and now Houston is no exception). But it's not something I can ever give up! Just gotta figure out how to wear black head to toe without any chances of internal combustion. My advice? Get skimpy with it. Now, you don't have to wear itty bitty clothing, but don't be afraid of showing some skin! Just apply SPF 80 if you're pale like me. 

Bare those arms, show off the legs, don a backless dress. All in black, of course.
