That's a Bugle You Hear In the Background

Somebody play Taps.

The classic black dress shirt has died.

My closet, once full of somber, respectable business attire, is now mocking me in shades of fuchsia, mauve, topaz and lime. I may be heading to the (other) land of palm trees and ocean breezes, but do I need to do so resembling a girlie frozen concoction?

2 hours of concentrated searching earned me not a single long sleeve, button up, collared shirt in black. Not one! It looks like Rainbow Brite threw up in the department stores these days. I like pretty colors just fine; but isn't black always in fashion?

+2 points for the Rainbow Brite hyperbole.

Black is NOT just a winter color. Black looks super good with a tan.

I'm with Cindy- My closet is full of black white and greys.....the only actual colors I own and wear are electric(bitch)blue and bright red. I also have a couple of animal print things.

And that is used very sparingly. Even in the Summer I wear black a LOT.

Accessories should have a bit of color- worn with the neutrals.
And don't mix the neutrals -with the exception of black and white.

No grey and white- or no grey and black. Makes the gey look dull and dingey.

Sigh....i really DO talk alot, don't I?

So, I have to go find a black button up shirt for my uniform now. I have been told they are at Target, haven't made it there yet, but hoping to soon!!!
