{GBF Style} Black Into It

While putting the finishing touches on my trick or treating mask (you can read my tips on how to TRT as an adult here), it just dawned on me that darkness will soon engulf our days when daylight savings commences this weekend. With pitch black poised to eclipse the sun, I started putting together a fall wardrobe palette fortressed by the color black. Although the color has historically played a supporting role in my closet as I'm kind of an equal opportunist, this season, I've come to appreciate its importance. 
When it comes to paving the foundation for your fall wardrobe, black dominates the game. It's a timeless color that's flattering on everyone, won't fade over time, and definitely worth the investment. Inspired by my color nirvana, I've put together a few of of this season's key pieces in every season's key color.
