You know, maybe this is because I think I look better in bright/dark type colors, so the color mixing goes auto-clown in my head.

Natter 53: We could just avoid making tortured puns
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I do like wearing black and brown together.
I do too, but somehow I am picturing a dark brown reindeer colored blouse with the collar outside of the black suit and thinking it would look weird. I do wear a brown top with a black skirt.
ETA- I think That is why I autoclown, too. I am wearing a bright pink shirt today. I can't imagine wearing it with anything other than a neutral color on the bottom.
Are we counting brown in the "color with color" thing?
Yes, everything but black (and to connect conversations, they say black is really only for funerals)--brown, beige, grey.
Their charts are divided by color (grey, purple, light blue, dark blue, red, etc.), and then shades within that color. Each shade has two main colors to wear with it and accent color to the far right. Here is their chart for grey. Of course, not everyone should wear all the colors they list, you first need to figure out if you have warm or cool skin and what shades look best on you, etc.

Again I say: pffft.
I'm wearing brown and red today.
Oh god. We move on Thursday. I have the horrible suspicion that we will be stuck in an open-plan office. How am I supposed to fake being busy when my supervisors can see me nattering at b.org and surfing LJ and cruising Buzznet for pictures of Frank Iero?
They don't make methadone for this! I'm already going into withdrawal!
Open plan in Sub-basement 3 sounds like the definition of office hell, really.
Those color charts stress me out. Color-matching in general stresses me out. I need Stacy and Clinton to come give me a seminar.
We're going to be locked in a tiny windowless room in a place that smells manky and will get no cell service and the bathroom is really far away.
Poor shrift. Being stuck in the steam pipe trunk distribution venue. I'd suggest posters from musicals about duty.
Again I say: pffft.
Hey, I'm just the messenger.
But I do agree with Robin that things in my wardrobe are much easier to put together now and look better together than with my black NY warbdrobe. I'm certainy glad I "What Not to Wear"ed myself before moving out here.
(And, for the record, I was taught black is for close family, and navy or another somber color for everyone else).

I join in on Jilli & Jessica's giggle-pfft.
