Maybe the universe really wants you to look for a new job.

Remind me to dust off my resume when I get home and after I've napped, man.

Over the weekend I read a little about what's coming up in fashion this season. They used the term "clash" to describe the combination of navy and black. Do y'all see that as a clash? They might not be worn together much, but I think they look okay.

For what it's worth, in the BBC What Not to Wear book with the color charts, they say not to wear black with anything but brown or grey. They are all about "wearing color with color" and hate the prevalence of black. Yet, black does appear as a matching color on one of the color charts--dark blue, specifically, navy.

Will they let you keep the red swingline stapler?

Only if she uses it to staple cover sheets on the TPS reports.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Yikes. I like grey a great deal, but I'm very picky about it. I wear black with almost everything. I'm trying to imagine what in my wardrobe would go with this pale pink (sleeveless turtleneck) sweater and coming up very short.

Speaking of coming up short, I think I'm bailing for today. Too much headache. See y'all from the ER, maybe.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That's just crazy.

ITA. I wear black with anything. Except dark Navy.

Argh. Good luck on the head-pain thing, ita.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

they say not to wear black with anything but brown or grey

Wait, what? Seriously? That makes no sense.

Good luck, ita.

But how do you match things without black? That's crazy. (Am currently wearing pale blue shirt and black skirt.)

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

Yeah, I'ma have to come down on the side of "black goes with everything."

I can't do very much "color with color" with my hair without looking like I got dressed out of a bag of skittles. Black & grey are my friends.
