Never Do Fashion Is Out the Window

Never wear red with pink, my mother cautioned in every way, Do not wear blue with black or white jeans after Labor Day. Only three colors to a room is the most pleasant to an eye. But today I happened with my brilliant artist eye to spy…. A woman in a gorgeous red and pink outfit; she was fancy and smart. Svelte and fashionable looking, she was wearing clothing as art. I realized then that all color combinations can work in some way. All it takes is imagination, and a willingness to do a bit of play.

Amen! Amen to this. I think every person should wear what is pleasing to them and what expresses their personality best. I, too, think people should wear what they can afford. Me, it's Goodwill!!!! (chuckling) Seriously, I get my best clothes from thrift shops!

I love thrift stores! Have not been in one since the pandemic started two years ago - I miss them!
