Here's a little trick:
Black doesn't have to be boring. And if you pick carefully, bold black accessories can be a lifesaver. They go with everything, so you can throw them on no matter what else you're wearing. If you're running late and don't have time to pull together a look, add a bold black accessory to your boring ensemble and - tadah! - instant style. Of course, any sort of bold accessory can accomplish this, but black is so easy that I think it is essential for bleary-eyed, running-out-the-door mornings.
Here are some of my (mostly) cheap picks:
My personal black items aren't exactly statement pieces, but they have managed to save my outfit from boring-ness many a time. Quilted 80's bags, chunky-heeled combat boots, crocheted berets, patent ballet flats, studded belts - these are the black accessories that have served me well. My bold black accessory collection is forever growing and changing, and I have relied heavily on it throughout the years.
Do you have staple bold black accessories? What are they?

I love that black belt, I want it so badly! Great post!
I have a long black cardigan that I wear around the house, but it looks great dressed up too: with a wide belt around the waist and some great jewelry and heels, it's perfect for going out.
Love your blog and would love to trade links! trendinista.blogspot.com
Im so cautious of buying black only because it fades fast and it's obvious
I have far too much black. But it emphasizes jewelry nicely.
It's true that black fades fast, so sometimes, I buy a few pieces of the same thing. haha
Anyway, I love the black patent heart bag!
