It's just color theory

In subtractive color, like in print, white is the result of no color, and black is the result of all colors.

In additive color, as on the computer or in any form of light, black is the absence of color, and white is a combination of all colors.

That's what I learned in school.

What they don't teach in school, but all girls know very well is that black is slimming, and white does exactly the opposite... So now I have a brand new reason to stay on track at the gym...

because Bryan proposed Thursday and I'm ENGAGED and my white wedding will be in November. AHHH! :D I must work hard to look good in that white dress (and out of it)!
