Black Pearl

On Monday, I walked into my Manager’s office and she said “Thelma, never wear black!”  Just like that.  As if it were a completely acceptable way to greet me.  This direction was given on one of the rare occasions I was not wearing black.  Apparently, I looked a lot better than usual.

I didn’t take too kindly to this thinly disguised insult and have resolved to dress head to toe in black for work until the day I leave (I may have a slight issue with authority).   So far, my newfound obsession with Chanel Black Pearl is fitting in quite nicely with this plan.

    Huh? What's wrong with black? It's stylish, chic, contemporary, classic, and elegant. I just don't see what's the problem.

    That's so rude! Wear black and show her you can wear any color you want in the office! Black nail polish is perfect for your idea! xoxoxoo

    Hahaha! I feel the same. To spite the person, I'd wear more black and parade it in front of her.
