X is the new Black

Do you really know what it means when people say "____ is the new black"? 

I don't. 

So, Wikipedia to the rescue.

So here it is - The colloquialism "X is the new black", is a reference to the latest trend or fad that is considered a wardrobe basic for the duration of the trend, on the basis that black is always fashionable. The phrase has taken on a life of its own as a snowclone, and has been stretched and parodied as a rhetorical device and a cliche.

...and the last sentence is still a mystery to me. 

Have a great Sunday everyone!

    Nag ukay-ukay ka na naman.
    That skirt reminds me of my black skirt,
    pareho ng style. I wore it last week as a dress.

    Ang ganda ng Sunset. Lalong na-inlove ako sa
    asawa ko. LOL!

    hahaha! I agree, the last sentence is so "deep." :D

    I love the sunset and the outfit! I'd wear that to the beach with that kind of sunset you have there.

    Our country's truly beautiful. :)
