I’m always hearing how “blue is the new black” or even “pink is the new black”. Is black even the old black? Pretty soon they’ll be saying “black is the new pink”.
Because of my olive skin, I’m supposedly a “winter”, which means the colors that look best on me are black, white, grey…all the colors of a color-blind person, basically. If I’m really in a kinky mood I can wear blue, allegedly. That’s about as colorful as it gets. Honestly I don’t care. Really.
Actually, it’s good to know what colors I can and can’t wear. I’m not color-blind, but very non-fashionable. Many times I would come down dressed for school and my mother would give me a gagging look. My regular outfits because those that didn’t get The Look. I don’t know. I’m clueless. I still have Becca “OK” any shirt and tie outfits the night before whenever I want to try something new.
It’s hard to match, even with colors like black and blue. One comedian said, “black is the color that matches everything except itself...oh no, my jet-black jacket doesn’t match my coal-black pants…” White isn’t just white, as I’ve learned from my painter-father’s color charts. There’s china white, off-white, eggshell white, dove white, cream…
Any, that’s a summary of my fashion clueless-ness. Thanks to all the girls who have helped me sport matching ensembles!
