bookmark_borderRubber toe socks and other fashion issues

Posted on by Christine Elias

I got two different opinions about my outfit yesterday — yes, I was asking my friends.

Friend #1: You looked fine.
Friend #2: (Reluctantly) Well….you asked: light blue maybe. Navy blue, no.

But my hair looked great yesterday and that’s all that matters.

Oh, today I saw a young man at work wearing rubber (maybe neoprene) shoe/sock things. They fit like gloves for his feet with sections for each toe. My red nail polish barefoot lady should get a pair of those.

He was enjoying zero arch support and yet was protecting his feet from the elements.

Brilliant! It’s about time someone invented rubber toe socks for people who are nuts enough to buy them.

I don’t know why the hell I buy brown pants. Today I wore I pair I like (in terms of fit and style) but they’re still brown. The only colours that I am certain go with brown are beige, white or cream. I didn’t wear any of those shades today. I wore a navy blue polo top.

I really have no idea if it worked. It looked okay to me as I figure they are both neutrals. But I have a nagging doubt that I was walking around the office today making people wonder if I dressed in the dark.

Last time I wore these pants I wore a bright green top but I was told that I looked like a tree by someone I love but whose fashion opinions I don’t hold in high regard.

The green top (I think it worked) was not available this morning and I was at a loss.

I am never buying brown pants again. Black, black and black from now on.

Oh and jeans. Now there’s a neutral that one can’t mess up.
