Whatever the cause, these are my inspirations. Style mavericks snapped by Facehunter, the Sartorialist, and Hel-looks, respectively.
Let's not forget some runway inspirations either. My favorites are Christian Lacroix, Christian Dior, and Jean Paul Gaultier.

The shiny shirt in look three is amazing. I'm also loving the cut of it!
John Galliano is such a genius! His collection for Christian Dior's collection was just unreal!
I don't think I could picture you in all black for some reason...I agree that it not 'normal' for you... :)
seriously. black is the new black. i love it.
Christian Lacroix is a God!!!
Love the jacket in the first photo.. the pleating on the sleeves is gorgeous
i like all black..It's really classy
Yeah me too! I also find myself drawn to more simple pared down outfits and muted colours black, grey, navy. And haven't been doing any outfit blogging because its all so simple. But thats what I need right now - its a kind of calm after the riot of colour and fuss of ruffles and accessories. I don't know why - maybe its the season, the weather or just my current frame of mind.
The girl with the leather pashmina is perfection.
oh black. the fail safe option! love it.
I love the girl in the first picture. The shapes coming out of the folds in her jacket are amazing!
some say I should stop wearing black and go with some colours but with my dark eye and hair colour black is the best whether it's winter or summer.
I shall show you my black soon! :)
I'm so much into this all over black look my mother is already complaining but it looks always good.
great inspiration.
I could not bring myself to wear black for the longest time because of having to wear it every day to school! Now I'm being drawn to it again! I love the photo from The Sartorialist! :o)
i am really drawn to the first two looks!
I love total black as much as I love colors...it just depends on the mood (total black when I feel seductive!!!)
Recently I've ventured into all-black territory, something I've never done before. It feels strange . . . but powerful.
I like you in colors, R. But I'd be fascinated to see what you did with all-black.
oh my goodness, where do i start... : )
love it all
I think sometimes the secret with doing all black is mixing materials and textures, and even shades of black, like a faded black with a dark jet black. Done right all black can be incredible, but other times I think it just looks dull. ;)
Thanks for your comment dear. I'm sorry that past hurts have kept you from trusting, I understand, though as much as trusting can hurt, I think it's usually worth it. <3 Also I think it is so amazing how your mother and sisters used to explore abandoned homes, sadly, my mom and sister don't have that same kind of adventourous and curious spirit as I do!

I must say even though I really try hard to dress in various colors my favourite is All black from head to toe..
I LOVE black. I'm wearing all black today and I feel so incognito/artistic, especially since I had a photo shoot this morning. Leibovitz always wears black. anyway, I never, ever get tired of wearing all black. it's so classy and, I'm sorry, black and my red hair look amazing together. There. I said it.
If you like vampires, I hope that you will consider reading the Twilight series of novels, if you haven't read them already. They were the best books I've read in recent years. I'm seeing ads for a new movie based on the first book that will be opening soon, and it looks pretty exciting.
Anyway, I hope you enjoy the rest of your time in Greece.
recently i was reading a trilogy about vampires. and i am fascinated by them. so this is not strange for me... :D as for you, well it is good to have a trip to fantasy world once in a while :)first pic is just fabulous!! and JPG is my ultimate love!
I think all black ensembles are so great. They're flattering on anyone if done right. Thanks for the inspiration. ^^
All black simply looks quite pulled together and très chic. I've actually been on a color binge (for me) recently but I feel the black slowly creeping back in.
Black is so great. It goes with anything!!
If I had more black things, I think I would wear all black every day.
On another note, the word maverick has made me hysterical ever since Sarah Palin came about..
there is no colour like black...the best one :)
a kiss!
Black is back. And I don't mind. For the first time.
I'm really feeling black at the moment too, although its not as fun as colours, its good to play with textures in black...
Me too! I know I'm just being a trendy McTrendster but I just can't get enough of all things black, leather, spiked and fierce!
love love love black :)

That coat in the last row is fierce.
There's something about wearing black that makes me feel more enigmatic.
All these black ensembles look absolutely incredible. I never feel comfortable wearing black, I can't put my finger on why but it makes me feel dowdy in a way perhaps? That I'm too short to wear all black? I don't know, but I can't pull it off as well as these people can that's for sure!
everything is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!! love it, thanx for sharing them!
and btw, i heart ur style
I'm loving all-black, too. I love the play with textures in these pictures.
I LOVE the girl from the Sartorialist! The yellow leaves in the background just perfect it. Love the tights especially!
hehe, I just did a post about black (since I never wear it). :-) Color is more fun, loved that neon outfit of yours!
oh my, oh my, but those are so ..black, not the usual you.

there is something striking about all black ensembles. I like those first two street style looks especially.
I just love the picture of the girl with the bangs..! I can understand that you feel drawn to black outfits. It always depends on the season most mostly my mood if I want to go all black or not.

The years I spent being a teenage rock chick left me with a small obsession for all-black ensembles so this post hits close to home. The Lacroix collection is beautiful!
I wish I could wear those black-gothic styled outfits, but unfortunately, it's 24F in Detroit and bitingly cold with snow piling up on the side of the roads. I guess I'm screwed. :(
