As much as I always say I wanna wear more colors, I just constantly find myself going back to black - you usually can't go wrong with dark shades! But that said, it's not really a good look to seem like your going to a funeral 365 days a year. You can keep the black clothing, but don't forget about the power of accessories! I love all the prints, metallics, and neons we've been seeing on the runway recently, from vibrant striped fur scarves to shoes fluorescent enough to light a runway, there's definitely something out there that'll spice up your somber wardrobe. While in Paris I almost cracked for this gorgeous neon Givenchy fold-over clutch (came in green and orange, I went back to look at it twice) and I'm still regretting not getting it now, but there's always another desirable objet out on the horizon! So today's Veruca selection is all about those glistening items that we ladies are instinctively drawn to like bees on pollen. If you've ever had tunnel-vision in front of a jewelry store on Versace window display, you know what I'm talking about. All that glitters ain't gold!
