A black outfit with an addition

Hi guys, I am back. I have been absent for so long, because I had to work hard. Since April last year I am retired. Went straight into lock-down. Not what I was planning. Nevertheless...
I saw Angie's post about an all black outfit with something extra. As I happens I have quite a few of such outfits, even though I love colour much more.
Here are a five examples. I hope you like them and perhaps even give you ideas for yor own wardrobe.

So nice to see you here again, Greetje! And congratulations on your retirement!

All of your black outfits are stunning and suit you really well. I especially like #3 and #5, the boots in #5 are gorgeous.

Fantastic outfits! So nice to see you! I love the warm brown with the black in the first outfit and the last one with the white and snakeskin is my favorite, although it was hard to choose.

Wow, fantastic outfits! I love lots of black in an outfit so you’re singing my tune. Love black and cognac especially.

Thank you all for your wonderful praise. The first outfit with the tan accessories was one that I wasn't too sure about. I actually didn't even like it that much, but it got a lot of votes. I find these ankle boots with a midi skirt very hard to accept with my old brain.
The second outfit was just a second-hand jacket which I got for New Year's eve, although never worn. I didn't like it and gave it away afterwards.
The third outfit with that cute red and pink bag is my favourite. Also because I am wearing white boots with it and I LOVE white boots.
The fourth outfit is a suit which I regret buying. It is corporate and overwhelming. Consequently I never wear it. And it was very expensive too. Big regret.
The fifth outfit is a solution to tearing the leather when you sit down. Too much pressure. The sleeveless dress is an Etsy purchase which I have had altered so it would fit me. It is actually a very versatile piece.

Hmm, could you separate the two suiting pieces into separate outfits? That’s what I have been doing with my suiting.
