While I generally love shopping of any kind (grocery shopping makes you giddy too right?) I am not a huge fan of car shopping. I am getting a new car at the end of March and I'm dreading the whole process. Mostly because I get distracted by shiny things and I think most car dealerships sense that.

"This car is missing tires. That's okay, put a pretty air freshener in it and she won't notice." Sigh. 

Now I'm sure you all think I'm looking for tips on car shopping and which cars to look at, but fortunately for you I will only be picking from a few cars so no need to give me suggestions.  What I'm looking for advice on is the important part of the car... What color should I get? I'm thinking black.

  1. I have to go car shopping this summer and am dreading it - I just know I want four doors and automatic windows. I like black cars, so that's my suggestion!

  2. Either black or white. For whatever reason, those are the only two colors I like when it comes to a car. And you totally resemble Sophia Bush as a brunette! Pretty!

  4. You look so pretty!
    Silver all the way... Dirt doesn't show as much as on black or white, or basically any other color. Now that I've said that you'll be noticing how dirty cars are... haha sorry!

  9. LOVE that dress on you! I actually just did a post on LOVE dresses, I'm so obsessed with them at the moment haha. And I don't know anything about cars either so when the time comes my dad, brother and bf will have to choose and I'll choose the color and if it's cute or not lol I think black is a good color for the car and it'll go with everything you wear? good luck!

  11. Yeah I like the neutral color cars because I am boring. Mine is white though which means it always looks dirty since it rains here all the time like it does where you are, so there is my two cents on that issue. More importantly, DAMN I need a wrap dress in my closet now thanks to you!

  19. I'm a firm believer that cars should be the standard colors like black, white, red, or silver. So I think your choice of black is spot on. Love you in a wrap dress and everything else. Good luck on the car shopping, it can be daunting.

  20. Great dress. Now onto cars. You have to get either a silvery or goldy color because those are awesome at hiding dirt. You will probably never have to wash your car. Good luck!

  21. The only problem with black is that it shows dirt and dust really terribly.....my parents had a darker vehicle and they swore never again!

  23. Car shopping is the worst! It's my most dreaded chore. We had to do it twice in the last couple of years. Ugh! Truly horrible.
    The good news is that you look super cute! I love how Springy you look, but in a warm way.

  24. lol. Oh yes. Color is always the most important. No. I don't like car shopping either.

  25. Car talk, woo! Well, when I was looking for my most recent car, I really wanted a black one but since it was second hand I didn't get too much choice in colour and ended up with a white one. With all the pink bits and pieces I've added to it (number plates, symbol, badges, interior light, stereo) it looks awesome! But I still say go for black. Personally I wouldn't go for grey because everyone has grey cars and it's boring and they're also most likely to be in an accident, especially in the rain because they're harder to see.

    Now onto fashion talk, I love love your dress! So so pretty!

  26. Wow that is a super pretty dress! It's black yet it still looks kinda spring-y to me. Very nice!
