Am I weird? Or does anyone else not own a single black item of clothing or footwear?

I have a pair of purple shoes and brown boots. My winter coat is rusty red; my summer one is purple. Got lots of brown/berry/dark green stuff in my wardrobe but no black at all! Anyone else?

. Most of my wardrobe is black, and 99.9% of all my shoes/boots.

Mine is half and half, wear black suits to work, but like to get out of the 'uniform' when I'm relaxing.

i have more black than anything

I look vile in black. My profile doesn't show it so well but my hair is quite dark and my skin really pale (but not in a goth/interesting way ) so I just look ill in black!

I have a couple of black tops for days when i feel flat and just can't face colour (!?). Hate black shoes - would never wear them (actually, i do have a pair of slouchy black Uggs that I wear for trips to the park etc, but I hate them - they're purely for practical purposes). Black is so drab.

I don't know what colour I am - I think Autumn or Spring - can you hazard a guess from my profile cod?

lol at 80s - I guess it is a bit! But I guess if you wear it at night you wear it with sparkly bits?? (Oh why am I posting in Style, you can tell I'm a fish out of water )

No no no! Black and sparkly. That is sooooo 1982. I just think of Alexis Colby when I think of sparkly black clothes. Yeuchhhh.

See, I said I didn't have a clue ! I don't have going out clothes, I just wear my normal stuff.

I only seem to wear black in winter. Bizarre really because it doesn't even suit me. I have four black coats (all very different of course) about 8 black suits (ditto) masses and masses of black shoes, lots of black bags, some black tops and 11 black jumpers.

Extraordinary really.

im sure im a black drab person who started wearing black as a teen..i didnt allow myself to wear anuthing else for dramatic effect reasons

Rofl, that's more than my whole wardrobe Quattro! I own four or five pairs of trousers, two skirts, two cardies, a handknitted sweater, and about 8 tops. All fits very neatly in about three drawers!
