I asked this same question about a year ago and since then I have accepted the fact that mono and damier go great with black. I do have a black epi alma that I use if i wear something that is black with a print - I don't have many prints, and mostly wear browns, but I do have a black and white print blouse and also a black floral dress that I only wear my black alma with. Otherwise, mono or damier with everything else! Oh, and azur with navy usually.
