Back to the black dress challenge. The first are thee versions with a black lace topper over the black dress. These could also be ok for a funeral since some of the arm is covered by the topper.
The last photo shows the dress with a silk jacket. This was worn for an anniversary dinner.

Thinking of color vs neutrals, I like wearing both but recently have made a small summer capsule or coral via consignment. I have on coral . pants, a coral Madewell tee and a coral, pink and brown poncho type topper. My accessories are white ( loafers and bag and hair scrunching and mostly gold meal accents including tropical leaf dangly earrings, for a summery touch. What do you think? Too much color, to much volume? Are the earrings too big for me? Yes, I am wearing a med alert bracelet on my ankle. It is huge on me and I need a couple of inches of chain removed to wear it on my wrist. Does anyone have a source of attractive medical alert jewelry? I would like to find something that uses gold tone metal.

I decided to participate in Sally’s black dress challenge be in August as that is when I am most likely to wear summer black. I will mostly feature a black sleeveless Talbots dress from the Good Will store. As it was popular during my battle of black dresses challenge but sometimes will wear a shorter more fitted version.
ETA: today’s black dress outfit. I needed red for courage to
say goodbye our dear doggie, Maggie. The basic dress is topped by a colorful poncho topper that is like a scar. The print has black and brown in its animal print. Red shoulder bag.
More black dress outfits. #8 is the basic dress with pearls and shells and my white espadrilles for a hot day. #9-11 are the same dress with different jackets in cotton or linen. #12/13 is the dress with a white linen EF poncho.
