In fashion, the mantra is “never say never.” Never claim that you’ll never wear it, because that's the easiest way to end up eating your words, prancing about in a style you once referred to as “unsuitable.”

In 2015, to be a woman (and a black woman at that) among the general public means having to keep your defenses up.
