So here comes the querulous part of my blog. If I offend you in any way, I apologize, but this simply needs to be written about! ATTENTION: Check your belt, shoes, pants, and tie.
Black. The dark, mysterious blend of every color on the planet! It may “look good with everything,” but it most certainly does NOT, in any way, shape, or form, “go together” with navy blue! Maybe black and royal blue, as made clear by prestigious universities such as Duke and Kentucky, but you don’t see any athletic teams with those two dreadful, opposing colors, do you? Didn’t think so.
As made clear, this is a pet peeve of mine. Why are you wearing navy socks with your black dress shoes, Mr. County Attorney? You have bad lighting in your 12x12 closet? Don’t even think about blaming it on your wife, either. I will give certain people some “freebies,” if you will, to “accidently” wear black and navy together. But don’t make it a habit.
Navy and black, in my book, are archenemies in the fashion world. They don’t get along, as evident by how people look when they are worn. Black, navy, brown, and white are what we (in the fashion world) call “staple colors.” The earth tones simply tie your outfit together. For example: A purple polo with khakis might be tied together with ALL black accessories. NOT a black belt with black shoes and NAVY socks. Just…. No. It simply should not be done.
I have been just as guilty as some of you before. In fact, I have worn navy spandex with black crew socks and black volleyball shoes. Now would be the time for you to comment on this post, calling me a hypocrite. Frightful would be the word I would use to describe how I looked that day. That was an all-time low for me, as this is a fashion crime no one should want to commit. I suggest you do the same until someone comes up with a high school founded by people with hideous wardrobes. I can see it now: Outfit Malfunction High School.
IMPORTANT: Disregard all above information if you find a cute, black and navy shirt! J (368)
