All the recommended places I would go to shop for less have already been mentioned. Therefore, I will offer the anti-black post. I you truely want to stray from black and like dark colors, I would suggest a violet spectrum in hues such as eggplant, maroon or plum. You can still wear these with black if you mix them with off whites, creams, champaigns and golds for either a shirt, cami, or an accent sash in the opposing colors for your hair, neck or belt.
If you wish to stray a little more towards the brighter side, go with a lighter shade of earth tones like tans, beige, sage, and sky blue. These will go nicely with the off white etc I mentioned earlier. And if you still want to vear towards the darker side, I recommend combining some of these with burnt browns and olive or emerald greens.
You could also go with a lavender. That usually accents dark hair quite well.
Edit: Oh, if you're feeling bold and magically develope protruding folicles in your hindquarters, go for a burnt orange skirt, cream cami and yellow accesories, i.e. a not to bright yellow shawl, would be an interesting combination.

I think I'm going to yak now.
