I love both of these - if I looked as good as you do in black I'd wear it too :):)

You are looking so lovely Marci. With you dark hair and pale skin you wear black with ease.
Busy and lazy sounds like an oxymoron but I understand perfectly.

Two great outfits, I love them both. You look fabulous

love them both, but those Zara pants are just fab!

You have such a fab style! I love the jeans in #1 and the fresh white and check with the black is gorgeous in #2.

Such fab outfits! Looking at them, I don't even think "she's wearing black;" I just notice how well the pieces work. Special love from me for the white sweater with arm patches coupled with the black and white blouse. You are a very chic (and young looking) Granny.

Gorgeous. I esp. love #1. You are one hot GOTG!!!!!

Two fabulous, fabulous outfits, Marcy. Simple, elegant, comfortable.... perfection in my book.

I may be biased because I'm wearing my Joie tunic for the first time today

Both outfits are great! I think you look good in black so I wouldn't worry about wearing it. I love black too and wear it quite often. The jeans in #1 are great and I love the sweater with elbow patches in #2.

You wear black well..no reason to leave it behind. Love both!

Both gorgeous outfits Marcy - the fluidity and shape of the top in outfit #1 is fab with your Paris jeans. And the layering in outfit #2 with the longer shirt under the short sweater is just fantastic.

I'm going to keep wearing black too

Thank you all for your replies!
I'm happy to hear that black still gets some love!
(Well, of course I knew some of you liked it- Deborah, I'm looking at you, among others...)

Black still looks good on you! Unfortunately, I'm starting to think it no longer looks good on me... Naturally, the epiphany came after my closet was full of black!

Love both of these. I plan to copy 1 while it's still winter! And 2 is absolutely K.

You are so cute and both outfits are fabulous! But number two is so great I love it!!!

Wow, these outfits are both incredible.

I like your ways of wearing black. You look wonderful in both outfits

You look great in black! If it's not broken.....

Both outfits are super fab! I especially like the checked shirt.

You must mean you G(glamorous)GOTG outfits. Absolutely gorgeous.

OK the outfits are nice but you have the most beautiful smile.
