Back in Black

As much as I love color (and I do love me some color), I�ve been drawn to all black outfits lately.  I wore this one last week:

And I�m wearing this today:

I know it�s all taboo and whatnot to wear different shades of black together, but I rather like it.  I think it�s because I�m trying to work more with texture to give my outfits interest.  I usually rely on color, which is fairly easy for me to work with, but texture is more of a challenge.

Today�s outfit has less texture than last week�s and is more sleek, but I think it still has enough interest.  Thanks in part to my snake-print leggings (I like to call them snakings):

I paired the leggings (Target) with a black kangaroo pocket tunic (Nordstrom) layered over a black turtleneck (Gap) and added black wedge booties (Nine West �Peekaboo� via Piperlime).

How about you, Dearest Readers?  What do you depend on to give your outfits interest?  Color, texture, accessories or something else all together?

Happy Wednesday, All!
