There are some things in life that I have a really hard time with. Wearing white after Labor Day and wearing brown and black together are just two of the "biggies" that I've been struggling with recently.
These are not euphemisms. This is for real, you guys. These are real problems that I'm really facing. We're getting down to the nitty gritty now.
In all seriousness, I was raised that you wore your white shoes for the first time on Palm Sunday - and put them away before Labor Day. It doesn't matter how hot it was after Labor Day - you wear your black or brown dress shoes, because the time for white dress shoes has passed.
Well, recently, I read in a magazine somewhere that that's no longer the case. So this year, I branched out and wore my white dress shoes whenever it was too warm for dressy boots. Which ended up being up until about 2 weeks ago. It was very freeing, and the 90's fashion police didn't even slay me when I left the house.
So that brings me to my newest fashion hurdle: black and brown together. It's killing me. I am trying my hardest to get over it. Yesterday, I wore a black cami with a brown shirt. And a grey sweater. And brown boots. But I felt like a sinner all day long because of it. I ended up tucking the black cami into my jeans so that it had less of a chance of showing. I THINK I HAVE A PROBLEM.
So today I'm taking a break from black and brown, and branching out to black and navy blue...something I conquered long, long ago....
Black & Brown go together like coffee and chocolate. I, for one, welcome this fashion change.
ReplyDeleteI can't do it... white after labor day, I accepted... black and brown... nope.
ReplyDeleteprops to you for trying ;)
Black and brown are fine together. My hurdle was wearing gold and silver jewelry at the same time. I now find it acceptable. I'm also too old to worry about the fashion police. If I'm breaking a fashion law, come and get me!!
