White and Black Choices

The ads I’ve seen for the women’s clothing chain called White House/Black Market have confused me, so when I was recently in New York City and walked by one of their stores, I decided to pause and have a look. Amazing! The idea is that since all of the clothing is either black, white or a mix of the two, it all goes together. That makes buying and coordinating a wardrobe simple. Really, really clever marketing, I think, because putting together a women’s wardrobe is so complicated. Many people just hate doing it.  

I guess it would be possible to put together a secondhand wardrobe out of just two colors—has anybody out there done this, and if so, how did it work for you?
